What's causing lung cancer in young adults?

Lung cancer is not only prevalent among older individuals with a smoking history, but it can also develop in young adults and non-smokers. Causes of lung cancer in young adults include genetic predisposition, secondhand smoke exposure, and exposure to radon gas. Young adults face challenges such as delayed diagnosis, psychological impact, fertility issues, and financial strain. Preventive techniques include avoiding smoking, creating smoke-free environments, mitigating radon gas, practicing occupational safety, monitoring air quality, and promoting early detection.
