But Not All Smokers Get Cancer. Why? by globalwaly(m): 6:27pm On Nov 04, 2013
You may know someone who smoked all of their lives but lived to a ripe old age. Or you could know someone who by no means smoked but got most cancers anyway. Does this show that smoking doesn’t really result in cancer?

Not at many. Years of research have proven that smoking leads to cancer. But this doesn’t show that all smokers will surely get cancer or that each non-smoker won’t. It ensures that smoking greatly increases the danger of this disease. Smokers tend to be, on average, much very likely to get cancer than non-smokers.

Even Though smoking darkens your lips making you look ugly, Most people still never quit, even though it`s written at every pack of Cigarette that smokers are liable to die Young, people still don’t get Scared, so let me ask you, what can or will make you quit smoking?? DEATH I guess

Among the 250 known harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 69 can cause cancer. some of these cancer-causing chemicals are

Arsenic
Benzene
Beryllium (a toxic metal)
1,3–Butadiene (a hazardous gas)
Cadmium (a toxic metal)
Chromium (a metallic element)
Ethylene oxide
Nickel (a metallic element)
Polonium-210 (a radioactive chemical element)
Vinyl chloride

There's what epidemiologists call 'risk factor'.

The fact is not all smokers will get lung cancer; but the chances they will develop cancerous lung tissue increases more than 10 fold as a result of smoking.
