Some people are more susceptible to lung cancer from smoking than others. And some who smoke smoke more than others. And some smokers inhale more deeply than others. Finally, there is a difference between cause and effect, and cause and a probability of an adverse consequence, such as lung cancer developing in a smoker. The cigarette manufacturing companies tried to say that if smoking causes lung cancer, then everyone who smokes should get lung cancer. But the lung cancer research scientists responded that there is also something known as a relationship between some cause and the probability of developing lung cancer, and lung cancer falls into the latter category. There may well be genetic factors, as well, that relate to susceptibility -- those who are more susceptible to developing lung cancer because of their increased hereditary risk are much more likely to get lung cancer than someone who did not inherit those factors that genetically increase the risk. At present, we have no good or inexpensive way to determine who is more likely to develop cancer with risky behavior, but there are probably several genes, maybe more than a dozen, that increase the risk of developing lung cancer if you smoke. I do not personally view the anti-smoking feeling as hysterical. There is a very solid foundation in clinical research that has been duplicated repeatedly. If we know -- and we absolutely do know -- that smoking cigarettes increases the risk of lung cancer, then doesn't it make sense to make a good effort convince smokers to stop and non-smokers not to start? I've read the clinical articles over the past forty-five years, and I am absolutely convinced that there is a very close relationship between smoking cigarettes and the development of lung cancer. I wish my younger brother had the same convictions. He smoked a pipe -- it seemed as though it was all the time -- and he inhaled the smoke! He died June 15, 2008 of lung cancer at the age of 63. I know something from this loss that cannot be out in research papers, and I do my level best to get my patients to stop smoking. If you are a smoker, what can I do so that the last cigarette you lit before reading this is the last cigarette you ever light? I just want you to know that this is beyond an scientific conviction for me -- it is a deeply personal and emotional campaign -- I want my brother back -- the #1 Corvette Master Show Judge in the United States and one of the leading hospital design architects in this country -- I want him back. So, you see, there is the scientific angle, and for me, an emotional one too.

Lung cancer is not limited to smokers. Take a deep breath, hold it...that is called sucking up life....it's the pollutants in the air...they infiltrate you lungs...it's like turning you into that fish out of water thing
Get over the smoker rebellion and get a gas mask...your breathes may be numbered.

Smoking is just one of the mkore probable reasons for cancer. It is therefore necessary to sympathise with such persons. This world is strange. Speeding in a car is bad, but do9nt you sympathise when such person meets with an accident?

Uh, no, not all lung cancer is due to smoking.
Trophy?
OK, I'm guessing you enjoy either seeing others suffer.
OR
You are a sad sick puppy.
Having lost friends and family to cancer, not only your question, but your attitude is pathetic as well.

So not funny Joel. I pray you never have to watch someone you love die of cancer. The cause is well known and your humor is in bad taste.

Duuuuuuude! Andy Kaufman died of lung cancer, and he never smoked.

That is a dumb question....there are people who die everyday who have lung cancer and have never touched a cigarette.

Not always had an Aunt never smoked a day in her life, and died from it.Cancer doesn't discriminate it can and does strike anyone.
