LUNG CANCER
Smoking tobacco is by far the leading cause of lung cancer. About 80% of all lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking,
and many others are caused by exposure to secondhand smoke. However not all people who get lung cancer are smokers.
Many people with lung cancer are former smokers, but many others have never smoked at all. And it is rare for someone
who has never smoked to be diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but it can happen.

SKIN CANCER
Skin cancer occurs when damage to the DNA inside of skin cells is not repaired by the body
causing the cells to transform. This can then lead to genetic flaws that cause the skin cells
to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. Regular skin exams should be completed for any
new or unusual growths, or changes in existing moles. If you find any abnormal skin changes,
it is advised that you see your physician or a health care professional.
