9. Can second-hand smoke cause a non-smoker
to get lung cancer?
Some studies suggest that non-smokers who are exposed to
environmental tobacco smoke, also called secondhand smoke, are at
increased risk of lung cancer. Secondhand smoke is the smoke that
non-smokers are exposed to when they share air space with someone
who is smoking. Each year, about 3,000 non-smoking adults die of
lung cancer as a result of breathing secondhand smoke.
