We have that lovely term from the commercial; "Smoker's Tumour". I'd never heard the term before that commercial, and I began to wonder how her doctor knew that the tumour she had was caused specifically by 2nd hand smoke. I've searched the internet and can't find anything definitive that is "smoker's tumour" other than propaganda. I can't find anything that proves it isn't real either, but it's commercials like that one that make me shake my head in disgust at the lengths to which some will go in order to prop up their own point of view.
Either this is propaganda, or her doctor is onto something that the medical profession seems awfully slow to twig to.
