Cigarette Smoking

The leading cause; contains carcinogens that damage lung cells.

Exposure to Radon Gas

A naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate indoors.

Passive Smoking (Secondhand Smoke)

Inhaling smoke from others increases risk significantly.

Air Pollution

Long-term exposure to polluted air, especially particulate matter.

Genetic Factors

Family history can increase susceptibility.

Marijuana Smoking

Contains tar and carcinogens; heavy use can increase risk.

Age Factor

Risk increases significantly after age 65.

Poor Nutrition and Lifestyle Habits

Low fruit/vegetable intake contributes to lower lung defense mechanisms.

Metal Fumes From Welding

Welders are at higher risk due to chromium and nickel particles.
