I'm not sure but smoking makes people smell bad, look really old, not to mention out of shape. Common things like walking up the stairs can leave them out of breath. It's one of the worst things in the world.

7 times more chance than a non smoker all confused In fact bronchic cancer but the smoker get generally one of the meanest the Anaplasic with small cells and according to their genetic this cells seem sensitive to chimio but come back 6 monthes later . 45% of cases the other kinds are less agressiv but in any case it's not a good disease. Some are caused by other intoxication than smoke or by hormons one for women. In fact the global statistic for all cancers confused is becoming worst for 30 years but the governements mondialist dislike any statistic.

Less than 20%. Besides smoking, genetics plays a big role in whether a person gets lung cancer as well as environmental issues such as pollution and radon in your home. While all smokers and former smokers are at higher risk for lung cancer, less than 20 percent of these "ever smokers" eventually develop the disease. "We need to get a better handle on how genetic factors increase risk and what molecular pathways are involved in development of lung cancer," Amos said. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080402131137.htm If you want to compare that to other cancers in the general population, 12.7% of all women will probably get breast cancer. 20% of all men will get prostate cancer. About 20% of all people will get skin cancer.
