How can I explain Lung cancer to children?

Question

I don't know how to explain in easy words.

"Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the tissues of the lungs. If not treated, lung cancer may spread to the surrounding tissues and other parts of the body."

Answer 1

That's an understandable explanation for children, as long as they know the definition of some words you said. I would send you a link that would probably help you, but jiskha doesnt approve of that. so, ''Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cancerous tumours in the lungs.
Exposure to carcinogens, such as those present in tobacco smoke, immediately causes small changes to the tissue lining the bronchi[?] of the lungs (the bronchial mucous membrane).''
