• Am I susceptible to lung cancer because of my history of asthma?

I have been an asthma patient since I was 7 years old. I am now 35 years old and still get frequent asthma attacks that worsen with certain triggers like pollen dust. Does this make me susceptible to lung cancer?

As long as you dont also smoke, you have no increased risk of lung cancer over the general population.
