Impact of Cigarettes and Alcohol on Colorectal Cancer Risk
Researchers examined data from 845 people with colorectal cancer to determine if cigarettes and alcohol may have influenced their chances of developing the disease. Their findings, published in the journal Epidemiology, were pretty straightforward.

Smoking Increases Risk for Carriers of HNPCC Gene
A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine analyzed carriers of two HNPCC mutations to determine what lifestyle factors might increase their risk of developing colorectal cancer. Alcohol use didn't seem to have much of an impact but tobacco use did.
