Chapstick, chapped lips, and things like chemistry

[inajellybean]

"Cancer of the lip is more prevalent in men, with 3100 new cases per year accounting for about 1% of all cancers in men. Long-term exposure to sun, wind, and cold over a period of years results in dryness, chapping, hyperkeratosis, and predisposition to malignancy. The lower lip is the most common site." (McCance & Huether, 2006)

That's a pretty low chance though... 1% of cancers in men? But I'm all for chapsticked lips so I guess its one less cancer that I have to worry about.
