Implementing policies such as stricter smoking bans in public places, higher taxes on tobacco and alcohol, or mandatory nutritional labeling on food products can reduce exposure to these risk factors. Additionally, policies that promote screening programs (e.g., mammograms for breast cancer or colonoscopies for colorectal cancer) can help with early detection, which significantly improves survival rates.
