A new study finds that smokers face an increased risk of certain types of throat and stomach cancers, even years after they quit. Current smokers were more than twice as likely as nonsmokers to develop cancer, either in their esophagus or in a part of the stomach called the gastric cardia. In some of the studies, the risk of cancer of the esophagus remained high even when people had quit smoking three decades earlier.
