As true as that may be, many people are diagnosed with lung cancer every day that have never smoked a cigarette or a cigar.

I had a good friend that died with lung cancer. Never smoked a day in their life. Christopher Reeves wife died from lung cancer. Never smoked. May Rush have peace and hope as he goes thru this ordeal. A cancer survivor.
