I do not. But I know several people do die from lung cancer who never smoked

It is estimated that 10 - 15 per cent of lung cancer occurs to people who have never smoked and the risk is increased among women. A recent statistics from US(medicinenet.com), has shown that each year 17,000 cases(non-smokers) have been diagnosed of having lung cancer. However, I could not find statistics worldwide. There are few reasons have been attributed to this such as passive smoking, exposure to asbestos, uranium compounds, heavy metals, increased oestrogen levels and finally genetic predisposition. Hope, this helps.

The AMA may tell you 90% of lung cancer patients are smokers. I have lung cancer and I have never smoked in my life. According to my doctors, only about 10% of their lung cancer patients are smokers.
