What Causes Lung Cancer?

Although the biggest cause of lung cancer is smoking, it’s not the only cause. Lung cancer can be caused by other factors. 

Causes of Lung Cancer:

• Smoking (biggest cause)
• Radon Gas exposure (2nd biggest cause)
• Asbestos
• Second hand smoke
• Pollution
• Diesel exhaust
  

It's very important to avoid exposure to these carcinogens to have healthy lungs and prevent lung cancer. 

Often, lung cancer patients need a lung transplant. To help lung transplant patients, please donate to The Sid Foundation today.
