3. Small cell lung cancer is more common among smokers.

Lung cancer these days isn't necessarily a disease of smokers. Lots of non-smokers die of it, especially the non-small cell variety.

I lost a sister to the disease in 2019. She never smoked a day in her life.

Few adults these days, at least in the US, are tobacco smokers, and it has been this way for many years.
