It is not. Lung cancer, as with any cancer, is caused by a cell losing control of itself and continuously dividing. You get large, worthless, and sometimes harmful groups of cells replacing the good ones. Of course, all cancers are harmful. The sometimes harmful here is referring to cells which actually damage other cells instead of just rapidly multiplying and ousting the good cells.
