Smoking cigarettes is not the only cause of lung cancer.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that about 3,000 people die each year from lung cancer due to secondhand smoke. Other environmental factors that may cause lung cancer, according to the CDC, include radon gas, asbestos, arsenic, silica and chromium. Many of these substances are still found in the workplace and home.
