ChatGPT 的答案：The higher rate of lung cancer in non-smoking Asian American women is a complex issue influenced by multiple factors, including genetic, environmental, and cultural elements:

1. Genetics: Certain genetic mutations, like EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutations, are more common in non-smoking Asian women than in other demographics. These mutations increase susceptibility to lung cancer, especially adenocarcinoma, which is the most common type found in non-smokers.

2. Environmental Exposure: Factors like secondhand smoke, radon exposure, and air pollution can increase lung cancer risk. Asian American women, particularly those who have lived or worked in high-pollution areas (especially in parts of Asia before moving to the U.S.), may have been exposed to carcinogens in the air. Additionally, household pollutants like fumes from cooking oil can also be a risk factor.

3. Hormonal Factors: Some research suggests estrogen may play a role in lung cancer development, especially among non-smoking women. Estrogen receptors are present in certain lung cancer cells, and they may influence cancer growth.

4. Cultural Practices: Certain traditional cooking methods, such as wok cooking with high heat, can release fumes that may contain carcinogenic compounds. Repeated exposure over time has been associated with lung cancer risk in some studies.

Understanding this elevated risk in non-smoking Asian American women remains a focus of ongoing research, as scientists aim to identify targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
