Yes. I too unfortunately am a smoker. Smokers have been blamed from everything from the boil on one's butt to the mystery of ALL diseases. Other things in our environment can cause cancer as well (they know little about cancer after all these years) and some medications such as HRT can cause breast cancer as well. In Canada there was a news broadcast just about that very thing.
Still, smoking is not good for anyone and hopefully I hope to quit if I can. It's tough and I may not win, but I have to try.
There are many tumors in the body not related to cancer, but please, go and see your doctor and get it checked out. Letting it go gives you plenty of worry (probably needless) and if it should be cancer you want to catch it early.

What tumor is NOT cancerous?
Answer 1A tumor that is not cancerous is benign. Benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body.Answer 2Can I better clarify the medical terminology regarding different kinds of tumor (US spelling) or tumour (British spelling) as it is wrong to assume only if a tumor is cancerous is it serious. For example a brain tumor can be malignant (cancerous)or benign (non cancerous). Brain tumor means an abnormal growth in or on your brain. About 60% of what are termed primary brain tumors that occur in populations worldwide are known as glomas. That means a tumor that arises from brain substance, for example meningiomas arises from the meningral membranes.Primary brain tumors are sometimes cancerous, and sometimes benign. But if a primary tumor is found to be non cancerous it is still a matter of serious concern because the compression of brain tissues or nerve tracts within the vicinity of the tumor may result in loss of vision, muscle weakness ot other sensory disturbances because if the build up of pressure in the brain, whether the tumor is cancerous or non cancerous.Secondary growth tumors are known as metastases, which means spread via your bloodstream from tumors elsewhere in your body, most commonly from tumors in your lung ot breast and secondary growth tumors are always cancerous.
