lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer.1 In the United Kingdom, its annual incidence is second only to that of breast cancer, accounting for around 39000 new cancer diagnoses annually.2 In countries that have seen a high prevalence of smoking, around 90 % of diagnoses of lung cancer are attributable to cigarette smoking.3 The increased incidence from smoking is proportional to the length and intensity of smoking history.4 On average, a lifetime smoker has a 20-fold increase in the risk of developing lung cancer compared with a lifetime non - smoker.1 Lung cancer is more common in men than in women, closely following past patterns of smoking prevalence, and 80 % of cases are diagnosed in people aged over
