http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/tcrb/smokersrisk
Gives individualized smoking risk information. A current
smoker, past smoker, or friend of a smoker enters a
specific smoking profile (gender, current age, age when
smoking started, and cigarettes per day). A graph is
then created that shows the future risk of either lung
cancer mortality or all-cause mortality and compares
this to the risk of a nonsmoker. Current smokers can
click on "What if I quit now?" to see how their risk
will decrease when they stop smoking. The site is
interactive, so the profile can be changed easily (for
example, demonstrating the effects of quitting sooner
rather than later). Hosted by the Division of Cancer
Control and Population Sciences.
