Lung cancer

Dones some one in the same house smoking mean your cancer can come back

Hi Dewbery, my answer to your question is, who knows! It certianly wont help if you are a lung cancer patient. If you are a patient and someone is smoking in your home, then their relationship needs to be brought in to question.

Then it might be better if I move out

Hi Dewberry. I was diagnosed many years ago before the smoking issue was brought into question. I had bitter falling outs with some members of my family, I was told I was being arrogant. I had to get them one at a time and explain to them were I stood. most carried on but were more sympathetic toward me. Surely these days there is no excuse, everyone must be aware of the dangers now. Good luck

Dear Dewbery,

I worked as a smoking cessation nurse specialist for several years before coming to work for the Roy Castle foundation.

Second hand smoking increases the risk for heart and lung disease by around 25% as exacerbates existing conditions such as asthma and other lung diseases. There is plenty of evidence to support this: cancerresearchuk.org/cancer...

Some types of lung cancer are more likely to be caused by smoking and this can often be identified from a biopsy of the tumour.

I hope this is helpful,

Beth, on behalf of Information and support.
