Best Answer

Most people who get lung cancer are smokers, so smoking is linked to lung cancer. This is old, old news. But not all smokers end up getting lung cancer. Most smokers, in fact, do not. But it should be noted that there are other maladies (like corinary diseases, to name one) that can end up killing someone whose smoking aggrevates the conditions.
