What percent of lung cancer deaths is attributed to smoking?

My brother-in-law is a heavy smoker and he recently got scared after a friend was diagnosed with lung cancer. He's asking me about the risks, and I was wondering, how much of lung cancer deaths are actually linked to smoking?

This is a very stark reminder about the dangers of smoking. It just goes to show how important a healthy lifestyle is. Eating wholesome, fresh food and staying away from harmful habits like smoking can really protect our bodies. It's not just about what we eat, but also what we avoid.

Bro, my chacha used to smoke a lot, then he got lung cancer. The doctors said it was mostly because of smoking only. It's really bad, man. I tried it once, never again. Not worth it at all.

I remember when I was young, many people smoked, thinking nothing of it. But over the years, we've seen so many suffer because of it. It's truly a silent killer. It is very sad. If you are smoking, please stop, for your own sake and your family's.

This is a really serious number. It just shows how much lifestyle choices impact our health. For me, managing PCOS means being super cautious about everything, and honestly, smoking is one thing I'd never touch. It's just too risky when you're already dealing with health issues. Please, if you smoke, try to quit.

The link between smoking and lung cancer is undeniable. I had complications from something else which were worsened by my past habits, and it was a wake-up call. If you are concerned about lung health or have a history of smoking, please consult a doctor. They can guide you best on screening and preventive measures.
