A man who smokes heavily has developed lung cancer. The tobacco smoke has caused mutations in some of the cells in his lungs, making them unable to stop reproducing and dividing. He is worried that his children, none of whom smoke, may have inherited the lung cancer from him. Under what circumstances might his concern for his children be justified?

    His children could have gotten lung cancer from their father by second-hand smoke. Meaning, if his children were always around when he was smoking and breathing in the fumes, they could have gotten Lung Cancer.

    However, if the children made sure not to be around when their father smokes, they might not have gotten lung cancer.
