No form of cancer is contagious. However, certain contagious illnesses can cause cancer. These illnesses are not passed through cancerous cells but through the viruses causing the cancer. Additionally, some behaviors are thought to be contagious, or at least may cause exposure to cancer causing agents. Again, the cancer cells are not contagious, but the behaviors causing cancer may be more likely to occur in family groups, as with smoking.
So by kissing someone who has lung cancer the other person will not get cancer. -

Of course not. But kissing may be dangerous for lung cancer patients. For a normal person, getting cold is nothing, take some pills then he'll be OK. But for lung cancer patients, a common cold may be lethal.

Heyy. What's up? My name's Rachel, let me tell you a brief story about myself which I believe may be of some Help to you...
I am an Emphysema Survivor. I remember when I was diagnosed back in 2012, and they told me I had to quit otherwise I would not make it another 2 years. I told them, "If I'm going to die, I'd like to die Happy with a cigarette in my mouth". Stupid yes, but it's how I felt. I was stubborn, and did not believe that it could happen to me. I am only 32 years old, been smoking since I was 16... but the idea of Death at age 32 feels very foreign, almost surreal. However, when I began to notice a constant shortness of breath, and even coughing up blood- I decided something had to be done. I tried really hard to quit a couple of times, but could never resist the urges and temptation. Anyone who has ever tried quitting cold turkey, or by using one of those worthless patches/gums, will know what I'm talking about.
I went and saw a specialist, a physician who is reputed to be very successful in helping people quit. Among other practical advise, he referred me to a World-class Vapor E-Cig @ https://tryvaporcigs.im .. It is an electronic cigarette that heats "liquid nicotine" into a Safe water vapor which you inhale. No toxic smoke. I was told by my physician that this is something the tobacco industry does not want us to know about. It smells Clean, leaving behind no odor... and gives that relaxing "nicotine fix" we get from the regular, mundane cigarette. Being odorless, it can be smoked anywhere- even indoors. I have social anxiety, so a problem I do have with it is people always approaching me; telling me how cool it looks and asking a million questions when I'm seen Vaping in malls or restaurants. But yeah, my condition seems to be getting much better since I quit "smoking". I believe they still send out a completely Free Trial kit, only asking that you cover their cost of shipping.
Anyways, Take care! I hope I was of some help.. <3

No definitely not. Cancer is not an infectious disease like the common cold.

Cancer is NOT contagious like that.
