Well every cancer not just lung cancer is affected by lifestyle. A lifestyle which is clearly damaging to health such as smoking will definately increase the risks.
Our body is made up of delicate organs which should be taken care of by incorporating a healthy lifestyle. There are certain factors that we can not help such as pollution especially if we live in the cities, but this does not mean that we purposely contribute to bad health by voluntarily poisoning ourselves.
I am a 21 year old recent graduate who has now considered a career in promoting wellness. Noone wants to die prematurely but would prefer to die well aged and of 'natural causes'. Cancer is not a natural cause but is a sign that our body especially our immune system is not functioning at its optimal level. It is a sign that our lifestyle is not providing our body with the care it needs and the sources it needs to combat disease.
Our immune system is very powerful, yet is working sluggishly because of our neglect or lack of understanding. We continue to assume that disease is part of living. I believe it is not but that we should take control of our health making it a top priority but substituting bad habits for good.
It should be a permanent change not a once in awhile eat a bit or brocoli here go to the gym there. Pop a vitamin here drink some water there. A healthy lifestyle should be for LIFE and really and truly I believe noone has the right to complain when they get ill if they caused it on themselves by ignoring the signs that there body is failing and by assuming that living healthy is a chore.
I in my young age have decided to reclaim my life and not assume that having pains and illness when I reach a certain age is all part of growing old. There is so much knowledge out there and things some people overlook or are left in darkness about.
If anyone feels the same and wouldn't mind reclaiming their life, then I am willing to research topics, share information and answer questions.

Lifestyle can often have very little influence on lung cancer. However if someone with cancer smokes cigarettes then this would be at odds with the functioning of the lungs and so would be extremely detrimental. The reason for this being the organs (lungs) are damaged and therefore not working properly. This damage would be furthered due to the chemicals contained in cigarettes. The specific cells necessary to maintain healthy tissue in the lungs would be unable to replenish themselves, progressive ill health and worse would be inevitable.
Those with healthy lungs (ie no undetected infections) smoke without any threat to their health. We all know those who smoked all their lives and were never ill.

I have been thinking this question since I got lung cancer 2 and half years ago. My parents in the 90's are still alive and healthy, all my other family members are healthy too. I have tried to compare the different life styles of my parents and me. They don't go out at night, and they go to bed at nine everyday. I always sleep late, and I go out with friends every once in a while. They get up early everyday, go exercising and walking for about 1-2 hours, I never do. They drink a lot of green tea, I never do. I am sure lifestyle has something to do with their long lives.

20% of lung cancers are small cell carcinoma. Over 99% of people with small cell carcinoma are smokers or ex-smokers.
Smoking is also a major risk factor in non-small cell carcinoma of the lungs. Other risk factors include exposure to asbestos, radon, hydrocarbons and metals (chromum and nickel).
