There is a correlation between people who smoke cigarettes and people who get lung cancer. However even people who do not smoke can get lung cancer and some people who smoke a lot do not get cancer. What cigarette smoking does is increase the risk of getting lung cancer but by no means is it a sure thing one way or the other.
The gunk and chemicals from cigarettes builds up and causes the cells and alveoli to become damaged. Once the cells are damaged enough, they either die completely or become cancerous and replicate from cell to cell. The list of chemicals in a burning cigarette are endless. And as well all know, chemicals known to be harmful aren’t a good thing to put into your lungs. But it’s not the lung cancer I would worry about as much as the heart disease and respiratory problems it is guaranteed to cause. Cancer is just a roll of the dice compared to those two.
Cigarette smoke is full of particles that are known carcinogens that may cause lung cancer. Thank God I don’t have lung cancer but I do have emphysema from smoking for 43 years.

the relationship is quite simple but its actually quite complicated. in your blood system they are arteries which leads blood to the heart and when you have a cigarette it blocks up your arteries with this sticky stuff called tar ( the thing off the roads) which are actually in cigarettes which would lead to a heart attack but lung cancer is pretty much the same , where this time when the arteries are clogged you are less able to breathe and when this happens . your lungs start to fail and if it isn’t diagnosed properly you will probably die
if you smoke , you may as well commit suicide as they are cancer sticks or at least stop for you and your families sake
hope this helped

Smoking equals cancer equals early death…what don’t you understand? Plus it is a disgusting habit that pollutes everyone else’s air…
