Sex-stratified association of time since smoking cessation with cancer incidence and mortality. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) for cancer incidence and mortality are depicted on the vertical axis for smoking cessation ≤ 9 years ago, 10–19 years ago, or ≥ 20 years ago (current smokers as reference). Cohort-specific HRs and 95 % CIs were pooled with meta-analyses separately for men (black squares) and women (white squares)
