And?
Where did I say anything about not needing early detection(1) or anything negative at all?
I'm giving actionable advice that you can follow right now at this very moment until we have other methods of prevention. That's what we got and it's easy to implement(2) and mildly effective.
(1) Though that's another can of worms considering there's cases where routine screening of asymptomatic individuals at low-to-average risk of a disease can actually do more harm than good, but that's another topic. Screening certainly can also be beneficial too, I'm not hating on it as a concept.
(2) Provided you aren't already a smoker. If you are, it can be difficult to quit, obviously.
- posterboy 9y ago> If you are [a smoker], it can be difficult to quit, obviously Stop telling people that.
- melling 9y agoYes, not smoking helps with all sorts of cancers, heart disease, strokes, etc. We don't all know that by now? An awful lot of healthy people get cancer. The current belief is that a lot of cancers are just "bad luck": https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/most-cancer-cases-arise-from-bad-luck/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/most-cancer-cases...
