Why do you get lung cancer if you don t smoke? How can it be avoided?

According to the statistical report released by the National Cancer Center in January 2019, lung cancer ranks first in the incidence of malignant tumors in the country, with 10,000; The first mortality rate is also lung cancer, which is 10,000.

At present, the pathogenesis of lung cancer is not well understood, but smoking (including secondhand smoke), air pollution, genetic variation, and poor lifestyle habits are all risk factors.

Don't smoke, pay attention to protection every day, use air purifiers and masks, and use range hoods for cooking, which is a more useful method.

As long as there are people around you (including family members) who smoke, staying together for a long time is easy to have an impact on the lungs, because smokers are not so serious, and passive long-term inhalation of second-hand smoke people, the chance of getting lung cancer is greatly increased, as long as someone smokes at home, tell him to go outside or on the balcony to smoke; In addition, housewives are also prone to lung cancer if they don't turn on the smoke machine when they stir-fry in the kitchen, so for the sake of health, as long as they stir-fry vegetables and make soup, they must remember to turn on the smoke machine and exhaust the exhaust gas outside.

Even if you don't smoke, you can't avoid second-hand smoke, and air pollution can lead to lung cancer. If you want to avoid it, you have to choose a good living environment.

Now the environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious, usually inhaling second-hand smoke, industrial waste gas, haze and other harmful substances, infringing on human health, it is recommended to do lung CT once a year, low-dose lung spiral scan, low radiation, is a good choice, Guangzhou Panorama Medical Imaging Diagnostic Center can do it, I hope it can help you! Early detection, early diagnosis, early **!

There are other pollutants in the air.

1If you smoke, the first thing to do is to quit. Whether it is e-cigarettes, filter cigarettes, or low-tar cigarettes, they are the main causes of lung cancer. When you quit smoking completely, you have a reduced risk of developing lung cancer or lung cancer**.

Products such as nicotine gum, sprays, patches or lozenges can help quit smoking. If you don't smoke, keep it up. Never smoking reduces the risk of dying from lung cancer.

Protect yourself from secondhand smoke, thirdhand smoke (residual smoke that adheres to indoor furniture or fabrics), and the best way to stay away from people or places where you smoke.

Try to stay away from carcinogens.

2Radon is a colorless and odorless radioactive gas released from soil or rock, and is one of the identified risk factors for lung cancer. It can sneak into houses through foundations and can also be released through building finishing materials containing radioactive elements, threatening our health.

3 According to a 1982 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, materials such as phosphogypsum and aerated concrete are more radioactive, while solid wood and natural gypsum are less radioactive.

Therefore, when buying a house and choosing decoration materials, it is necessary to pay attention to check whether the building decoration materials meet the radiation safety standards, and at the same time reduce the indoor radon concentration through natural or mechanical ventilation, air purification systems and other methods.

Radon hazards can also be reduced by increasing ventilation below ground level; installation of radon storage systems in basements or under solid ground; Blocking the passage of radon from the basement into the dwelling; Do a good job of sealing the ground and shooting; Do a radon test before building a house, and carry out radon reduction treatment.

4 Some workplaces may be exposed to chemicals such as asbestos, arsenic, chromium, nickel, tar and soot, increasing people's risk of lung cancer. Controlling carcinogens in workplaces and buildings requires the concerted efforts of the whole of society.

5 Air pollution also increases the risk of lung cancer. Studies have shown that the higher the level of air pollution, the higher the incidence of lung cancer. Therefore, try to go out as little as possible on hazy days, and please take precautions when you go out.

6. Avoiding unnecessary radiological tests (such as chest x-rays, etc.) can also help reduce the risk of lung cancer. Hope, thank you!

There are many people who do not smoke in their lives who will also suffer from pneumonia, a large part of which is caused by inhaling toxic gases or inhaling second-hand smoke, and of course, a small number of people have a chance of developing lung cancer due to genetic reasons.

In life, there are many people who gradually increase the probability of developing lung cancer through smoking, but there are also some people who suffer from lung cancer due to other reasons.

1. Genetic factors.

Genetic factors are also responsible for the probability of lung cancer, and a large number of people in the family may have lung cancer or have the gene to develop lung cancer, and people living in such families generally have the probability of developing lung cancer. If there are people of the older generation in the family who have had lung cancer before and are immediate relatives of themselves, then members of such families must be aware that there may be a risk of lung cancer, so they can choose to have regular check-ups after a certain age. <>

2. Excessive dust inhalation.

If your work is to inhale dust or have a lot of dust. If you inhale too much dust, it will also affect your lungs, so that there is a chance of cancer, because the excessive amount of dust and dust inhaled in your work is easy to lead to lung cancer, and the probability of suffering from lung cancer will be very large. Therefore, you must pay attention to these situations at work, which need to be protected.

3. Inhalation of secondhand smoke.

If someone smokes at home at the same time, although you say that you don't smoke, then you may inhale second-hand smoke, sometimes the probability of cancer from inhaling second-hand smoke is much greater than the probability of inhaling first-hand smoke, after all, second-hand smoke toxicity may be stronger than the toxicity of first-hand smoke, in this case, individuals must avoid, inhaling second-hand smoke can choose to let the smoker go outside to smoke, or stay away from the person who is smoking, in short, do not let yourself inhale second-hand smoke for a long time. <>

Smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer, but it is not the only cause, because in addition to smoking, the incidence of lung cancer is also related to a variety of factors, such as familial genetics and viral infections, as well as radiation and occupational exposure.

Smoking is not the only reason for lung cancer, because many factors can cause human lungs to become cancerous, especially people with a family history of lung cancer, to a certain extent, will be affected by genetic factors, easy to cause lung cancer due to family heredity, lung cancer will occur, which is also a common cause of lung cancer, so those with a family history should have a detailed examination of the lungs every year.

People who never smoke get lung cancer. It may also be passive smoking, even if you don't smoke often in some smoky environments, especially in the same office, and at the same time will continue to smoke or your husband at home continues to smoke, these environments will lead to passive smoking will increase the incidence of lung cancer, in addition to women cooking various dishes in the kitchen for a long time, exposure to oil smoke is also an important cause of lung cancer, if you want to prevent pneumonia, you must stay away from these harmful polluting gases.

Environmental factors are also an important reason for people to suffer from lung cancer, because air pollution in many places is more serious, and haze often occurs, at this time, there will be a large number of harmful substances in the air that people breathe, which will endanger the health of the lungs, and the incidence of lung cancer will be high after a long time. This is also an important reason why people who do not smoke but will develop lung cancer, so in the air pollution and. In hazy weather, be sure to wear a mask to reduce your body's intake of harmful gases.

Viral and bacterial infections, drug injuries, radiation and occupational exposure, etc., are also important factors closely related to the incidence of lung cancer, and are also important reasons for non-smoking to get lung cancer, so we should pay attention to the protection of the lungs in our daily life, do not think that you will not get lung cancer if you do not smoke, if you want to avoid lung cancer, you must stay away from those harmful gases to the lungs, and pay attention to personal protection, do not abuse drugs, prevent bacterial infection, and do a good job of physical examination on time, so as to detect lung cancer as early as possible.

This is due to the influence of the environment, which may be caused by some pre-existing diseases in the lungs, or it may be caused by pneumonia.

Because of secondhand smoke, secondhand smoke is no less harmful than direct smoking.

Because smoking is not the only factor that causes lung cancer, the occurrence of this disease is related to a variety of other factors, if there is a genetic family history will make the incidence of lung cancer high, in addition to frequent second-hand smoke or passive smoking, it will also induce pneumonia, in addition to frequent activities in hazy weather, or often breathe those polluted air, will also increase the burden on the lungs, will make lung cancer high.

Genetic factors contribute to lung cancer

People who smoke are prone to lung cancer, but not all lung cancers are caused by smoking, which can also lead to lung cancer, which is one of the important factors in the occurrence of lung cancer, because many lung cancer patients have a family history, although this disease is not necessarily hereditary, but compared with other populations, its incidence rate will be much higher.

Passive smoking can also get lung cancer

There are many external factors, although they do not smoke, but often passive smoking will inhale second-hand smoke, which will also increase the burden on the lungs, easy to let the cells of the lungs be infected by cancer viruses, and lung cancer will occur, so not only do you not smoke, but also stay away from those who smoke, and try to avoid inhaling second-hand smoke in the body.

Environmental pollution can also cause lung cancer

The lungs are the most important respiratory organs in the human body, it will continue to absorb the air from the outside world, so environmental pollution, especially air pollution, will also make people get lung cancer.

Cooking for a long time can also cause lung cancer

Women who cook food in the kitchen for a long time or have been engaged in the profession of chef for a long time, often exposed to the fumes produced during cooking or the smoke produced during combustion, will cause the body to absorb too many harmful substances, and some carcinogens will enter the lungs, which is easy to deteriorate the function of the lungs, and will also make the incidence of lung cancer high. If you want to prevent lung cancer, you must do a good job of self-protection, and you must insist on doing physical examinations every year to achieve early detection and early detection, so as to avoid finding pneumonia when it has entered an advanced stage and missed the best opportunity.

A large number of lung cancer patients who do not smoke can also lead to lung cancer, which can be caused by the following factors: 1. Internal causes: Internal causes are gene mutations.

Lung cancer caused by non-smoking is mainly caused by internal factors, and the driving factor, that is, lung cancer caused by gene mutations, is a common clinical phenomenon. Therefore, patients who do not smoke can also lead to lung cancer; 2. External factors: including air pollution, radiation, viral infection or a large number of substances harmful to the lungs in the working environment, are all important factors leading to lung cancer.

Long-term inhalation of kitchen fumes is also an important factor that can lead to lung cancer.

There may be a familial factor in these people. Or it is in the environment of second-hand smoke for a long time. The working environment is very polluted by dust. Long-term chronic cough causes lung nodules that do not heal, which can develop into lung cancer.

Because he doesn't get lung cancer because he smokes, but because he has other respiratory diseases, it doesn't mean that people who smoke get lung cancer.

There are many other factors that cause lung cancer, which can be roughly divided into four factors: genetics, radiation damage, air pollution, and low immunity.

Needless to say, air pollution includes both outdoor and indoor pollution. Outdoor pollution, such as atmospheric haze, industrial exhaust gas, automobile exhaust, etc., while indoor pollution is mainly only decoration pollution, kitchen fumes, second-hand smoke, etc.

Factors such as unbalanced nutrition, poor lifestyle, and endocrine disorders in a high-pressure environment will affect immune function, leading to low immunity, thereby increasing the risk of lung cancer.

Therefore, even if some people do not smoke, they may get lung cancer for reasons other than smoking.

In addition to smoking, there are other causes that can cause lung cancer. There are many carcinogens in air pollution, and if you inhale too much, it can also cause lung cancer. If you are regularly exposed to carcinogens such as asbestos at work, you will also increase the risk of lung cancer.

In addition, if there is a person who has lung cancer in the family, the chance of getting lung cancer is also higher than that of the normal population.

Smoking is only an important factor in the development of lung cancer, but it is not the only factor. For example, cooking in the kitchen for a long time inhales more oily fumes; Although he does not smoke, he has been inhaling second-hand smoke for a long time; Occupation-related, long-term exposure to carcinogens such as asbestos and coal tar; Patients with long-term chronic infection of the lungs; Patients with a family history of lung cancer are at risk of developing lung cancer.

People who do not smoke can also get lung cancer, which is due to the ** of lung cancer, in addition to smoking, it also includes other factors, such as asbestos, coal tar, formaldehyde and other carcinogenic factors in the working environment of some occupations will lead to the occurrence of lung cancer, and then there is air pollution.

Lung cancer is also closely related to genetic factors and environmental factors, which may be environmental factors, if the haze weather is more serious, the incidence of lung cancer will be significantly higher.
