You do not have to be a smoker to have lung cancer. We lost a very close friend from second hand smoke lung cancer. It can happen.

Andy Kaufmann died of lung cancer, around the age of 32 or 33. Supposedly he'd never smoked a day in his life.

Smoking is not the exclusive cause of lung cancer, although that was apparently the cause in the case of Mr. Jennings. I was just recently informed that the husband of an old friend of mine died back in January of lung cancer; he had never smoked a day in his life. Small cell lung cancer is almost impossible to beat.

I believe it's 86% of L.C. get it from smoking, and about 1 in 7 cases are non-smokers. Got that from a lung ailment web site this week.
