 ==Overview==
-Non small cell lung cancer was first described by Thomas Venner of London in 1620.
 ==Historical Perspective==
-'''Early History'''
-* The association between tobacco and non small cell lung cancer was made in 1620.
-*Thomas Venner of London was one of the first to warn about tobacco dangers in his Via Recta, published in London in 1620. He wrote that “immoderate use of tobacco hurts the brain and the eye and induces trembling of the limbs and the heart.”
-*And 150 years later, in 1761, only a few decades after recreational tobacco became popular in London, John Hill wrote a book entitled "Cautions Against the Immoderate Use of Snuff".
-*These first observations linking tobacco and cancer led to epidemiologic research many years later (in the 1950s and early 1960s) which showed that smoking causes lung cancer and led to the US Surgeon General’s 1964 report Smoking and Health.
