Abstract

The Lung cancer rate in all cancer types is 21% in men and 5 % in women in European Union Countries. Smoking is the most important factor of lung cancer etiology [1]. The rate of Turkey is found 63% in men and 14% in women in 1988. 88.7% of the patients in Turkey have got smoking story. Lung cancer risk increases 3.5 times in passive smoking. Because there are carcinogens in air and they are not filtered; therefore, they are denser on air [2].
