This is not at all what I expected. Before cigarette smoking was common, I was under the impression lung cancer was extremely rare. Is there something else that gives people lung cancer these days?

the usual suspects

- older population, surviving the most common disease that once killed millions of people at younger age

- pollution

- toxic substances (asbestos for example)

- radiations

- exposure to highly carcinogenic substances (nickel, cadmium, radon, vinyl chloride, benzidene, and benzene, etc.)

- DNA
