I just wanted to share some recent research on the topic of second hand smoke and lung cancer in people who have never smoked.  It was a topic of interest to me at AACR and I had a chance to meet one of the authors of the 2009 paper.

Int J Cancer. 2004 Mar;109(1):125-31.
Secondhand smoke exposure in adulthood and risk of lung cancer among never smokers: a pooled analysis of two large studies.

There's an error in the video.  I refer to one of the papers (CCR) as being published in 2011, when it was actually published in 2009.  The author's manuscript was published online in 2011, two years after the print version.
