Wear a protective lead vest.

Explanation: Lead (and other dense shielding) blocks X-rays and reduces exposure. Sunblock protects against UV, not X-rays; avoiding cigarette smoke or chemicals does not reduce X-ray exposure. Other ways to limit X-ray exposure include using thyroid shields, leaded glasses, minimizing time near the source, maximizing distance, and avoiding unnecessary X-ray exams.
