Tabacco use, smoking, and chewing tobacco it has been said that it is linked to lung cancer for sure and to the mouth too.About 85%-95% of lung cancers are related to smoking. A lot of people that is having lung cancer are former smokers.Living with a smoker.Even chemicals such as arsenic, asbestos, radioactive dust,or radon. Also radiation exposure from occupational,medical or enviromental sources.

cancer that begin in the lungs are divided into two part two major types
non small cell lung cancer and small cell cancer . depending on how tha cell look under a microscope . each type of lumg cancer grows and spreads in different ways and i treatred differntly .1 out of every 5 womenin the u.s still smokes .We already know that the best way to prevent lung cancer is to quit smoking . the sooner a person quits smoking the better . even if you have been smoking for many years ,its never too late to benefit from quitting .cancer is a disease which certain body cells dont function right, divide very fast and produce too much tissue that forms a tumor shaped organs are part of the body`s respiratory system . when we breath in , the lungs take in oxygen , which aour cells need to live and carry out their normal functions. when breath out , the lungs get rid of carbon dioxide .
