More Female Non-Smokers Die of Lung Cancer

10Mar06

About one in five women who get lung cancer have never smoked.

Researchers know that smoking causes cancer, but they don’t know why people who never smoke get it.

And they have no idea why more women who have never touched a cigarette get lung cancer than men who have never smoked.

Lung cancer killed Dana Reeve on Monday. She was 44 and had never smoked. People know her as the constant caregiver and support for her husband, actor Christopher Reeve, whose fall from a horse in 1995 paralyzed him. He died in 2004.

Now, her own early death is bringing attention to another tragedy: Lung cancer among people who have never smoked, especially its disproportionate impact on women. [More]

Smoking is an independent and significant risk factor for cancer and heart disease, the most common causes of death in the world.
Sex itself is a risk factor for many diseases, almost all. This may expalin your question

Anyway..
the answer to your question is soon coming, they are doing a large scale study on it
i will let you know
But until then NEVER smoke
smoking causes DEATH, directly
