Wear a protective lead vest.
Reason: Lead (or other dense shielding) blocks/attenuates X-rays. Sunblock protects against UV, not X-rays, and avoiding cigarette smoke or chemicals does not reduce X‑ray exposure. Other ways to limit X‑ray exposure include avoiding unnecessary X‑ray exams, using shielding, increasing distance from the source, and minimizing time near the source (ALARA principle).
