    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.
