We've created a world with carcinogens everywhere, lawns, car exhaust, buildings, power lines, et cetera. It's nearly impossible to avoid them. We need to fight the cancer proactively by eating good, healthy food, and eating it regularly, instead of fighting uphill to eliminate the ubiquitous carcinogens. I've watched clean-living exercise freaks drop dead suddenly in their thirties because they were workaholics (and workout-aholics) who forgot to eat and sleep. Individually we should be building our defenses against cancer instead of making another "War On" out of it. This is not to say that industry should continue to have its accustomed unchecked power to toxify the commons, but that's a long battle and until then I advise everyone to eat healthy, don't go to a smoke filled bar every night, and if you're still a rabid prosectution maniac maybe you should smoke something and chill out before stress destroys your system.
