>Most people who get and die from lung cancer are not smokers This is not true: More than 161,000 lung cancer deaths are projected to occur in the U.S. in 2008. Of these, an estimated 10–15% will be caused by factors other than active smoking, corresponding to 16,000–24,000 deaths annually.[1] That said: lung cancer in never smokers would rank among the most common causes of cancer mortality in the U.S. if considered to be a separate category [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170525/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170525/
