Smoking cigarettes is the biggest risk factor for lung cancer and causes about 80% of deaths from the disease. But people who don’t smoke can develop lung cancer too.

More research still needs to be done on this and of course this study was based in the US and UK, however commemoration of World Cancer Day on the 4th of February we wanted a South African Perspective.
