Hi AnneLizly,
I fortunetly do not have lung cancer, and prayer I never will. But I can tell you from reading and family members in my life, almost ALL people with lung cancer either smoke or were around smokers.
In my family, my great grandmother, my grandfather, my grandmother, my aunt and now my precious sister all smoked and all died from the lung cancer and the direct results of smoking and/or second hand smoke. My sister, is still hanging in there she's young and has a lot of will to live.
I smoked for years, quitting 10 years ago. The few times I have had to have a lung x-ray, I go numb from fright. You hear of many former smokers that get lung cancer after quitting several years. I live an active healthy life style and just keep praying, and have faith that I will not be a statistic. I'm ashamed I ever smoked and so regret it. What a filty, gross habit to have. And yet the power of that little white cancer stick "convinces" you that you need it. If you are a smoker still, please quit.
