Tobacco is the main cause. The smoke of tobacco, with its high concentration of carcinogens, goes directly into the air and inhaled by both smokers as nonsmokers. Quitting smoking also significantly reduces the risk of contracting other diseases related to tobacco, such as heart disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Exposure to carcinogens: Asbestos is perhaps the best known of the industrial substances related to lung cancer, but there are many others: uranium, arsenic, certain petroleum products, etc.
