This is a really good observation Ysta. The fact you have lung cancer is bad enough without poorly informed people trying to blame you. There are many causes for lung cancer other than smoking. My sin was long term exposure to the sun because of my outdoor occupation now incurable metastatic skin cancer. Should people scorn me for not being more careful, while they themselves take an annual beach holiday. One in two people will get cancer and the last thing they deserve is somebody telling them that they only have themselves to blame. Anyway you have my sympathy for enduring these comments.
