Smoking, being overweight or obese and infections were the top three modifiable risk factors for cancer in Ireland, together accounting for about one in five of all cancer cases. Over a 10-year period ending in 2035, it is estimated that three of those factors alone — smoking, overweight and obesity, and alcohol consumption — will be responsible for about 66,000 cancer cases in Ireland.The report notes that the figure of 29% is likely “an underestimate of preventable cancer in Ireland”.

In a statement, the National Cancer Registry said the findings in this report should be used for planning future health policy.

And yet the IrishCancerSoc will not encourage smokers to switch to vaping which is not cancerogenic.

So, if you die from cancer during the lockdowns don't blame regulations because it's probably your own fault.

And although irish people die everyday from their ailments will we yet have a crippled healthcare system that will further reduce much needed services such as kidney dialysis, cancer, diabetes brushed yet again under the carpet?

Government by it self is A Big Fat Cancer!

And one of them is high stress!! Which this government is inflicting on us on a daily basis! They need to be removed for the health of the population.
