Results We revealed that smoke during cooking, irritant smell after decoration, insufficient ventilation, smoking and cooking presented increased risk of developing lung cancer. The low temperature of oil during cooking and rs144848 C allele were identified as protective factors. Smoking, smoke during cooking and living in bungalow showed a synergic effect.
