Research has found several risk factors that may increase your chances of getting lung cancer. Smoking. Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer. In the United States, cigarette smoking is linked to about 80% to 90% of lung cancers. Using other tobacco products such as cigars or pipes also increases the risk for lung cancer. Tobacco smoke is a toxic mix of more than 7,000 chemicals.
Asbestos and lung cancer. Asbestos has been linked to a number of lung diseases including asbestosis, pleural plaques/effusions, and mesothelioma. Asbestos is also an important cause of small cell and non-small cell lung cancer.There are a number of lines of evidence that asbestos is clearly linked to lung cancer including laboratory, epidemiological, and clinical research.nhaled asbestos and smoking work together synergistically to cause lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer in a smoker that has been exposed to asbestos is higher than the risk of the two factors combined. Smokers and those exposed to asbestos each have about a 5 to 10-fold increased risk of developing lung cancer.
