The most common preventable cause of lung cancer is the smoking of tobacco products. So the most effective way to prevent lung cancer is to not smoke. This will not prevent all cases of lung cancer, but is a big start.

Then limit your chest exposure to medical x-rays to the minimum necessary, and avoid exposure to airborne asbestos, silica, etc.

That still won't prevent all lung cancers, but will do a great deal.
