I know/have heard of many people who never smoked a cigarette in their lives and got lung cancer and died. I mean, look at Dana Reeves. She never smoked. My aunt never smoked and died from it.

Tar is the chemicals found in cigarette smoke. You would be very surprised to find out what chemicals are in cigarette smoke. There are over 2000 including formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and pesitcides. There are over 200 known carcinogens in cigarette smoke. Carcinogens are chemicals that cause cancer. They can change the genetic make up of lung cells causing some to grow abnormally and become cancerous.

Lung cancer starts with cigarettes because cigarettes contain carcinogens. Although there are people who get lung cancer and were non-smokers, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that these people were exposed to second hand smoke, asbestos or other carcinogens.

Yes, anything that stays in the lungs and can irritate them. Smokers should Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer researcher came out with a paper saying that the best cancer and infection fighter as yet found was Interferon, but, at the time, it cost $15,000 a gram. The good part was that Interferon was a product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to make Vit C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA says that the RDA for Vit C is 64 mg a day, just enough to prevent scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vit C and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry, said 1000 mg a day as a minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. On a personal note, I was sick twice a year, for 2 weeks at a time, for 20 years, and was flat on my back for at least a week each time. To this day the doctors have no idea what the problem was. After I gave up on the doctors I tried Vit C. I took enough to keep from being sick and just below too much to get diarrhea. It followed a bell curve over 2 weeks with a peak at 40,000 mg a day – about 300,000 over the 2 weeks. I was not sick for those 2 weeks and after a couple of years of that I have not been sick since. I did not dissolve my kidneys, as some doctors said would happen. I did not get any calcium build up or stones and did not dissolve my cojones or solidify my joints. Try it, but drink a lot of water – Vit C is a natural diuretic.
