Everyone is at risk of cancer. However, there are things that a person can do that increases their risk. Things that cause damage to your cells and your body, increase your risk of cancer. These are things that we all know about: drinking, smoking, eating unhealthy foods, sun tanning. However, because it is all about risk, a perfectly healthy person can get cancer and a person that drinks and smokes excessively can not. Also living longer increases your risk too, that it why cancers are more prevalent in older generations.
The best things you can do to help reduce your risk are:
Drink sensibly
Do not smoke
Eat healthily
Protect your skin from the sun
Avoid carcinogens (these are chemicals that you have to protect yourself against if you work in a lab)
Be active
And get regular check ups from your doctor, if cancer is diagnosed early, this greatly increases your chances of survival.

Smoking is a contributor to the development of cancer and there are many other carcinogens in the environment that are also linked to cancer.

It is still not known what causes some people to develop cancer while others exposed to the same things do. However, it's well documented that the chances of developing cancer are greatly increased by exposure to items like smoke and other carcinogens.
