Is lung cancer in your late 20's common? don't smoke but parents did while growing up
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rare, but...: It's not unknown, especially in our world where many eight-year-olds are already smoking. Occasional lung cancers are unrelated to smoking. Any concern for cancer should prompt you to get with your physician without delay.
