Tiny specks of cancer found in smokers lungs
A Detroit report from June 5 notes autopsies of 117 men show tiny cancer specks and precancerous changes are far more common in smokers, especially heavy smokers. Seventeen non-smokers included. 34 heavy smokers died of lung cancer, many with widespread cell changes. Researchers say inhaled carcinogens likely drive the lung damage, while some non-smokers show changes due to polluted air.
