Scientists appear to have identified three genetic mutations that increase the number of cigarettes people smoke a day. These mutations also give rise to a 10% increase in the chances of getting lung cancer. This presents medical professionals with a dilemma - do you target the people with this genetic mutation and spend more money on them to get them to quit smoking? OR do you give them up as a 'lost cause' and target the people without the mutation as they should find it easier to give up? That's not a decision I'd like to take, either way!
