Hi,
No smoking sadly is not the only way to get lung cancer.
Passive smoking, ie. living, working, being in the same room as someone can give you lung cancer. This is why so many countries are banning smoking in public places.
Asbestos can give you crippling lung cancer. Before knowing it, many buildings had asbestos in there fabrication as it was seen as the best flame retardent at the time. Now we know it is highly dangerous.
Transport pumping out toxic fumes can also give cancer, hence catilitic (spelt wrong) convertors are now on modern cars etc.
I am no doctor but these are just a couple of examples.
Open the window and breathe fresh air while here in myLot.

smoking is not the only cause of lung cancer.... You can get it from breathing in all the pollution in the air, and you can also get it from breathing in all those different chemicals you breath in while you clean your house. you breath in alot of different things that can cause lung cancer, and all the other lung ailments that their are.
