    i think that its possible for a small precent but most unlikely for some... my mother smoked from the time she was pregnant with me and she still does and she does not have cancer... I only lived with her for 4 years then lived with another smoker for 1 and I dont have cancer but severe lung issues... i cant be around smoke without having an asthmatic reaction and if i am around it for a long period of time (a set of my grandparents smoke) i get really sick (eye, ear throat infection) so i think second hand smoke can defiently give u cancer

    • It can't and it doesn't.
      Susceptibility to cancer is hereditary.

      Think about it: If smoking caused cancer, then every smoker would die of cancer, and no no-smoker would ever have cancer. The same goes for second-hand smoke. Thousands of non-smokers, who have never been exposed to second-hand smoke, die of lung cancer.

      Besides, lung cancer has been around atleast a thousand years longer than cigarettes.
      You figure it out.
