Lung Cancer From Passive Smoking

It is possible to develop lung cancer from passive smoking. Passive smoking refers to the inhalation of smoke that comes from a burning cigarette or other tobacco product, or smoke that is exhaled by smokers. People who inhale second-hand smoke are exposed to the same cancer-causing agents as smokers, although in weaker amounts.

Smokers who have been exposed to asbestos are at an increased risk to develop serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.
