My brothers best friend just got diagnosed with lung cancer and he does not smoke (but did for like 3 years).. but still isn't very long! He is 24! It's a scary thought! and very sad!

Theoretically, you can get lung cancer at any point in your life, it all depends on what kinds of cigarettes you smoke, and how often you smoke them. Even so, I haven't heard of anyone getting lung cancer until after they were in their 30s or so, and even that's rare, unless there is a family history of cancer. A non-smoker, however, is not likely to get lung cancer at all, unless they are constantly around someone else that smokes. Like the smoker, it all depends on the type of cigarette, and the frequency with which they are exposed to it. If the non-smoker was exposed to the person who got cancer at 30, I would still be surprised if they got lung cancer at all. Even if they did, it would be very minor, and would not occur until the person was in their 50s or 60s. That is just a guess mind you, but the point is that non-smokers are not usually subject to lung cancer...
