With smoking rates declining, so too are lung cancer deaths. For nonsmokers, the numbers tell a different story.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

Overall rates of the disease have declined as smoking rates have plummeted.

But, on the other hand, diagnoses are climbing among people who have never smoked.

Smoking is linked to between 80% and 90% of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. , the CDC estimates.

About 50% of nonsmoker Asians have this mutation, compared with less than 20% of non-Hispanic white people with lung cancer.

Some of the best data on lung cancer, smoking and pollution comes from Taiwan .

Don’t ignore symptoms or avoid or delay screening, experts say.
