Why do some heavy smokers never get cancer? And why do some people who never smoke get lung cancer? Answers are emerging for both of those questions. In

Smoking cigarettes is the number one risk factor for lung cancer, with tobacco products causing up to 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in the United States. 

Smoking can cause cell mutations that lead to lung cancer; however, some people may have a genetic defense against it.

Smoking can cause cell mutations that lead to lung cancer, but some people appear to have a genetic defense against it.

People who never smoked were less likely to have cell mutations linked to lung cancer.

A new study suggests humans can build resistance to lung cancer from heavy smoking.

Scientists believe they may have found out why some smokers, against the odds, manage to avoid lung cancer, according to a new study in the journal Nature

Researchers used cutting-edge technology to sequence DNA from lung cells. They found that smoking increases the number of mutations up to a certain point.
