Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer of both men and women in the United States. Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer and the most important risk factor for developing the disease. Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand or environmental tobacco smoke are also at increased risk for developing lung cancer.
Stopping smoking lowers the risk of developing cancer and other diseases. An ex-smoker's cancer risk is about half the risk of people who continue to smoke.
