Our cousin Daisy was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago. She is a non smoker.
Original article notes that kaiser in California is noticing such things.
Instapundit notes this and has a discussion of possible causes.
my comment:
Lancet article states:A growing body of evidence suggests that genetic predisposition may also contribute to the epidemiology of lung adenocarcinoma in Asian women who are non-smokers

They blame smoking, cooking fumes and air pollution. I should note that smoking here is a couple of cigarettes a day, not a pack a day. And cooking nowadays is with LPG but in the poor and up to a few years ago it meant wood fires inside the house.
