Smokers with higher levels of vitamin B6 and certain proteins in their blood have a lower risk of getting lung cancer than those deficient in these nutrients.
Scientists at the International Agency for research on cancer say the results may be a clue to why some smokers never get lung cancer.
The study looked at 900 people with lung cancer.
Researchers found a link between low levels of vitamin B6 and an amino acid called, Methionine, and the appearance of cancer in individuals.
Free tobacco people also need to eat vitamin B6 products to have their immune system healthy.
Analysts don't know what causes the link between low levels of these nutrients and cancer risk.
They say it's too early to say if changing your diet and eating more foods with these vitamins can change your future lung cancer risk.
The findings are published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
