Risk+Factors

media type="youtube" key="CCBcb1MkjE8" height="385" width="480"There are many risk factors that can cause lung cancer. Some of the factors you can control and others you can’t. The biggest risk is smoking. Hands down smoking cigarettes are the worst thing you can do if you do not want lung cancer. Cigars and smoking pipes are not as bad but that is like saying getting hit by a car is not as bad as being hit by an eighteen wheeler. This includes second hand smoke which is just smoke that comes from someone else’s tobacco product. Air pollution can also cause lung cancer. This includes breathing in coal dust over time and pollution from factories and cars. If someone in your family has lung cancer or there is a history of cancer in you family you are more likely to get it. media type="youtube" key="iKj1Vxb0Wfo" height="385" width="640"
