Question by Patrick T: What is the percentage of lung cancer patients that are smokers?
I would like to know the ratio of smoker vs non smoker in people diagnosed with lung cancer. Please provide a link.
I’m not looking for “caused by smoking” , those stats can be spun. I’m looking for smokers vs non smokers strictly. What percentage?
