Smoking does not actually "cause" cancer. It increases the risk of cancer happening in people. I would however say that it only increases the risk in some people, not everyone. My mother, both grandparents on her side, my great-grandfather on her mother's side all smoked and no one has or had cancer.

EVERYONE... Secondhand smoke is far worse than first hand. Secondhand smoke contains 11 known cancer-causing poisons and 250 known toxins. Exposure to secondhand smoke causes children who already have asthma to experience more frequent and severe attacks. Last year, 49,000 nonsmokers died from secondhand smoke... 3000 were under the age of five.
