So, NON smokers also get lung cancer

Yeah, they do. My never smoked friend died last month of lung cancer. And I have friends that are long time smokers that are as healthy as a person can get.

Exactly.  My one grandmother died at age 42 full of cancer.  I never knew her.  She never smoked a day in her life. 

I don't mean to be cruel, but the anti's claim that only smokers will get lung cancer.  They are so smug about it.  And this just isn't true.  If the researchers can't figure out how to cure lung cancer, then who is to say what really causes it.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I lost someone from lung cancer (small cell carcinoma) in 1992. He was 28, and a non-smoker.

Smoking increases your chances of getting it, sure. But it doesn't discriminate between smokers and non, as you are aware.
