Can being around someone who smokes cigars in front of you give you lung cancer?

yeah if your around them for long periods of time, secondhand smoking can sometimes be as bad as just smoking

Lung Cancer Facts

Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in both men and women. It kills more Americans each year than breast, prostate, colorectal, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers combined.

Approximately 50% of those diagnosed with lung cancer either never smoked, or quit smoking at the time of diagnosis.

Lung cancer kills 85% of newly diagnosed patients within five years. The 5-year survival rate is 48% for cases detected when the disease is localized to the lung, but only 15% of lung cancers are detected that early.

In 2007, 30,000 people who have never smoked will be diagnosed with lung cancer.

Every 30 seconds, someone, somewhere in the world dies of lung cancer.

Congress earmarks funding within CDC for specific cancers. The 2005 budget includes $204 million for breast and cervical cancer research, $14 million for prostate cancer research, and $14.6 million for colon cancer research. The 2005 budget included $0 for lung cancer research.

In 2005, approximately $1,200 was spent on research per lung cancer death, compared with:

$23,474 per breast cancer death
$14,369 per prostate cancer death
$5,216 per colorectal cancer death
1,829 per lung cancer death

There is hope! On Wednesday, October 26, 2006 the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper by Claudia Henschke, MD and David Yankelevitz, MD showing that with CT Screening, lung cancer can be detected at the earliest stage (Stage I) in 85% of patients and can lead to an estimated 10 year survival rate of 88%. The estimated 10 year survival rate goes even higher, to 92%, for those whose early detected cancers are removed immediately.

YES...
Every time anyone lights,up a cigarette, cigar, or pipe, tobacco smoke enters the air from two sources. The first is mainstream smoke, which the smoker pulls through the mouthpiece when he inhales or puffs. Nonsmokers are also exposed to mainstream smoke after the smoker exhales it. The second, and even more dangerous source, is sidestream smoke, which goes directly into the air from the burning tobacco. See the following link to learn how bad cigar smoke (or any kind really) is and how it can cause lung cancer and HEART DISEASE.

yes is possible. Also make sure the smoker does not smoke in doors, since it leaves cancer producing agents.
