Not as good as stopping smoking. Long term use of aspirin in low dosage ( 75 mg daily ) is of benefit in established cardiovascular disease - smoking is a major risk factor for events such as heart attacks and strokes. One of smoking's effects is to increase " platelet stickiness " which aspirin counteracts.
As for lung cancer, aspirin could reduce the chance of one of the three main subtypes ( glandular or " adenocarcinoma " ) in common with adenocarcinomas in other sites, such as large bowel.

Thanks Doc
Last year mid 2011 on the construction site all of a sudden I felt dizzy and I found it hard to walk on my right leg.....no pain the right leg and right arm just wouldn't do what I wanted them to do......I was numb on right side of my mouth......As I am right handed I couldn't clean my teeth, write or type......
I thought I had a mild stroke.....Everything came back to normal after 4 days.....This was a wake up call for me.....Immediately changed my diet to fish and salad about 4-5times a week....hence I have lost 11kg for 91kg down to 80kg and feel great...I have also started swimming laps again at the aquatic centre here in Dumaguete.
Doc I have asked at the Pharmacy here do they sell Asprin....Answer never heard of it....Remember where you are.....Can asprin came under a different name? It might be sold here under a different name....Would of thought you could buy asprin world wide.
Any thoughts

Aspirin should be readily available in Philippines and is usually known by that name or acetylsalicyclic acid .
“ Overdose ? “ in the title refers to information, as well as amount of aspirin ( low dosage ) to be taken ! It’s worth repeating, although it’s cheap and readily available over the counter or on the internet, take advice from your own doctor first ! There ARE side effects – usually mild ( stomach ache, nausea, dizziness ) and a small but serious risk of internal bleeding.
Part of the surprise with this aspirin research is the low cost of a drug which can treat so many ailments. Some experts are even calling it an “ essential nutrient “ rather than a drug. Its anti-cancer effect has been suspected for decades and the latest research does seem to confirm this. Two further points :-
• Doctors have been / and are rightly cautious about aspirin because of its side effects.
• There is big money for drug companies in making anti cancer drugs which may just prolong life for a few months. A very cheap drug which can reduce long term risk of cancer and its spread ( also ease pain, and benefit heart attack / stroke victims ) is an embarrassment to them, and good news to us ! Let’s hope more studies soon confirm that the benefits far outweigh the side effects.
