Over the 12 months to the end of April 2007, the Dow Jones US Tobacco Index rose almost 26 percent, with Loews Corp's Carolina Group up 49 percent, Altria Group Inc. up 25 percent, and BAT up 22 percent. There's no other industry in the world like it - are you feeding these fat cats?

One might think, now I that have cancer, what's the point of quitting smoking?
A study from 1986 to 2007 linked quitting smoking as the single most powerful measure throat cancer victims could do to survive.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, followed nearly 1000 patients, and found that those who quit smoking had the best chance of recovery.

Ditching alcohol came next in importance, plus a diet high in vegetables and plenty of vitamin C.

The researcher's message? Even for people with cancer of the larynx or lower pharynx, it's not too late to quit. Better still, stop the risk now Quit for Good Stop Smoking program
