The answer is True: Smoking or UV radiation can cause damage to cells and result in cancer.

Explanation:

  • Smoking introduces harmful chemicals into the body, such as tar and carcinogens, which can damage the DNA in cells and lead to mutations that cause cancer.
  • UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds can damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that can result in skin cancer.

Both smoking and UV radiation are well-documented risk factors for cancer due to their ability to cause cellular damage and genetic mutations.
