If someone is trying to decrease their risk of lung cancer, where could they work?
What would be the safest job environment for that?

A safe job environment does not decrease your risk for lung cancer. There is no known way to decrease your risk. EDIT: Working at jobs where you inhale harsh chemicals, asbestos, etc. increases your risk for lung cancer. Not working at them does not decrease your risk it just makes you the same as everyone else.
2 :
Disagree. You can avoid employment in jobs that would have you breathing harmful chemicals or things such as asbestos dust. (Most jobs involving harmful materials have safety equipment and training)

What has lung cancer to do wih smoking?
2 :
Once you get cancer the first time there is definitely an increased chance of it coming back. As for the smoking, that is yet another added risk and will most likely be a major factor in any reoccurrence of lung cancer.
