Since lung cancer and emphysema are both frequently caused by cigarette smoking, there would be nothing unusual about finding a smoker who has both diseases. In non-smokers, it would be relatively rare to find both diseases in the same person, although not impossible. Even ordinary air pollution or smog can have a similar effect to smoking cigarettes. In either case, you are inhaling smoke, and that is not good for the lungs.
