Abstract

A patient was a heavy smoker and drinker, so during his life has developed three cancers: larynx, liver and lung. These cancers can be linked to his bad lifestyle. We believe that it is very important to insist upon health education which can reach the entire population, so that illnesses related to a mistaken lifestyle can be reduced.
