∙ 11y agoIt is so common because the lung are internal. It is sensitive because of that,for instence your heart and brain are very very sensitive because they aren't"rough" like youre skin. When things are inhaled they go trough you're lungs and into the blood stream because your body needs oxegyn to function. I'm about 95% right. If you chose to not believe me so be it but cancer has no cure and we have no lead to what cases different types of cancer. So don't smoke and do anything that can cause cancer. I hope one day be find a cure. Treatments aren't even 100% correct.
