~~~~ '''There is strong evidence that exposure to radon can cause lung cancer. Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.''' ~~~~

Smokers are more at risk from radon exposure than non-smokers. A lifetime of exposure to radon at 100 [[Radon: Units of Measure|Bq/m3]] increases the risk of lung cancer by 0.1% for non-smokers, and 2% for smokers.
