Can my dad still be a risk to lung cancer- he stopped smoking over 15 years ago?!
Question: Yes, everyday he does not smoke the risk decreased, but the risk never completely gets eliminated. Also what kind of work environment does he go to everyday... factory worker, coal mine etc, the environment he works in along with smoking is a major issue. Does he hang out in areas (bowling alleys, bars etc) were there is smoke in the air... second hand smoke is a big risk factor for developing lung ca

Actually yes, he can be. The really sad thing is, you can never smoke a day in our life and end up with Lung Cancer. I wish your Dad and your family the best in the outcome!
yes he can be...and you can be at risk too from second hand smoke
You can also get lung cancer from petrol fumes
