Lung cancer tops the smoking related cancers list and more than fifty percent of cancer deaths are due to lung cancers. It is very dangerous as it is most difficult cancer to treat. Secondhand smoking is also a major cause of this cancer type. There are very rare cases in which a non-smoker has developed such type of cancer.  In men, 90% of lung cancers caused by smoking and this percentage drops down to 80% in women but that’s of course still alarming.

Remember there is no such thing as safe cigarette at all and the one you have just finished has increased the risk of cancer in your body.
