Illness doesn't cause lung cancer. True, Notalone, my dad had emphysema for 20 years before it killed him. He always said the drs were trying to give him cancer because they kept checking for it. He never had cancer of any kind, not does anyone else I've met with emphysema.

According to the medical news journal dated June 6, 2009, New research shows that chronic bronchitis and emphysema increases the risk of lung cancer. Note that is says 'increases the risk' that doesn't mean everyone with bronchitis and/or emphysema will get lung cancer.

mesothelioma from asbestos is a big one today. There are so many job trades that most males could have worked in at one time in this country and been exposed. I sometimes wonder if they tried to pawn most of it off on tobacco. But that's just me. A conspiracy behind every corner. Lol! Also, don't forget COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder
