Cigarettes DO cause cancer but so do many other things..... you can get cancer whether you smoke or not...
my grandfather died from lung cancer and never smoked a day in his life.

Quitting smoking is one of the ways to help prevent cancer.
Other ways included eating lots of fruits and vegetables,
not being around or breathing in secondhand smoke and other chemicals (pesticides and such). That said, ANYONE can get cancer, whether they have done these things or not... these things just make it LESS LIKELY that you would get cancer.

"About a third of the twelve most common cancers worldwide are due to nine potentially modifiable risk factors. Men with cancer are twice as likely as women to have a modifiable risk factor for their disease. The nine risk factors are tobacco smoking, excessive alcohol use, diet low in fruit and vegetables, limited physical exercise, human papillomavirus infection (unsafe sex), urban air pollution, domestic use of solid fuels, and contaminated injections (hepatitis B and C)."
