Not as good as stopping smoking. Long term use of aspirin in low dosage ( 75 mg daily ) is of benefit in established cardiovascular disease - smoking is a major risk factor for events such as heart attacks and strokes. One of smoking's effects is to increase " platelet stickiness " which aspirin counteracts.
As for lung cancer, aspirin could reduce the chance of one of the three main subtypes ( glandular or " adenocarcinoma " ) in common with adenocarcinomas in other sites, such as large bowel.
