Why is lung cancer caused from smoking not passed to children?

Lung cancer caused by smoking is not hereditary, as it results from the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoke on lung cells rather than genetic transmission. While smoking can lead to mutations in the smoker's DNA, these changes are not passed on to offspring. Children may inherit a predisposition to certain cancers, but the direct cause of lung cancer from smoking is environmental and lifestyle-related, not genetic. Thus, children are not at risk of inheriting lung cancer from a parent's smoking habits.
