However, chances of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma decrease over time.
We do not need to be convinced: smoking is the main cause of lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma. The link between lung cancer and smoking was laid for a long time, but in recent years it became clearer. In the meanwhile, awareness has grown that passive smoking also increases the chances of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma.
Hence, it can be explained that the governments have declared war on the cigarette (and, incidentally, other tobacco products). Smoking is already forbidden in almost all public places and it seems that we are not far from a general smoking ban. The fight against non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma (or the other forms of cancer in particular and lung cancer in general) costs the authorities hands full of money. Thus, it can be greatly saved by bringing the war on smoking to a higher gear.
It is generally assumed that smoking of (mainly) cigarettes is the main cause of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma. The longer someone smokes, the greater the chance of developing cancer. The risk of lung cancer never disappears completely after quitting, but the chances of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma will decrease after a while. Stopping smoking can help prevent non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma.
Smoking, however, is not the only risk factor associated with non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma. We said that passive smoking also increases the chances of cancer in general and lung cancer in particular. In addition, exposure to radiation may also increase the risk of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma, for example, due to radiographic examination of the chest or chest. We do not forget that air pollution causes more chances of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma.
The combination of smoking with other of the listed factors naturally increases the chances of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma. However, it is annoying that the symptoms of non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma are not visible and that the disorder is only discovered during a routine examination. A possible signal that may point to non-small cell lung cancer or lung carcinoma is a stubborn cough that does not disappear.
