Re: Asian American women are getting lung cancer despite never smoking
#312% of Asian American men smoke compared with 2.6% of women. So non smoking Asian women are more likely to live with a smoking man. Could second hand smoking exposure be a factor in this?

There are Many things that cause lung cancer other than smoking.
Infact majority of people that smoke don't get Cancer (only about 30% in a group of smokers get lung cancer)
Edit: I don't mean it's comforting I prefer to have it at 0/10
I am just trying to say that things that cause cancer are not as deterministic as we think.

#5Wasn't there something about some seed oil fumes being toxic? Maybe it's related to some cooking practices. Highly speculative but the cooking oil toxicity is well-known.

[edit 2] and indeed the article mentions it, although just in passing, still my hunch would go towards this as it seems a more specific factor than the others that are mentioned

"If you smoke, your chances of getting cancer are only 3 in 10!" is not actually very comforting.

Gas ranges aren't the only range that needs to be vented, all need it.

If you live with a smoking man, then they shouldn't be counted in the nonsmoker category?
