Does facing a chimney increase the risk of lung cancer?

Yes.

The smoke discharged from the chimney contains a large amount of harmful substances, which are harmful to the body, especially the sulfide in it, which directly stimulates the lung lobes and adds food to the lung lobes, slowly blocking the lung capacity and reducing the inhalation of oxygen. The accumulation of small amounts can lead to tuberculosis and, in severe cases, lung cancer. Therefore, having a large chimney in front of your home increases your risk of lung cancer.
