What about motor vehicle pollution as a source of lung cancer?

Who is investigating this problem?

Just google this oxy-moron phrase, for more information:

For "the other side of the story", the part many agencies, private and public don't want you to know about just click on this link for some evidence that there very well could be some health benefits for smoking and nicotine:

This is pretty clearly a band of trolls (or one who thinks it clever ti pretend to have numbers) spamming us with the same bunch of cut/paste crap time after time after time.

I thought this was Lung Cancer Awareness Month? Why do people always think Lung Cancer is caused by smoking? People who never smoked get lung cancer. Look at the statistics. Most people who are diagnosed with lung cancer is often diagnosed when the cancer has started to spread. Most of the time lung cancer has no symptoms and will be found in the later stages. This is very tragic. Lung cancer is often labeled as a smokers disease. Any one with lungs can get lung cancer. Lung cancer will kill more people than any other cancer, but it often goes unrecognized unlike breast cancer.
Keep this in mind when you start blaming the smoking. Lung cancer is not just for smokers...I know this for a fact. It has struck my family.
