Cancer survivors: Care for your body after treatment

Stop using tobacco

Kick the habit once and for all. Smoking or using chewing tobacco puts you at risk of several types of cancer. Stopping now could reduce your risk of cancer coming back. Quitting lowers your risk of developing a second type of cancer.

If you've tried quitting in the past but haven't had much success, seek help. Talk to your provider about resources to help you quit.
