Which type of people are most likely to get lung cancer?
like what age group, people who have smoked, done drugs? etc
Smoke, done drugs, Yes!
Or even if you have been exposed among smokers (second hand smoke) - all can cause Cancer. Prolonged second hand smoke breathing can cause cancer. Age, I can't tell for sure but cancer strikes old and young, unfortunately so.

I was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer and I live a healthy lifestyle. I was diagnose just days before my 40th birthday. Up until then I was fairly healty.
It can strike anyone, but some people are more prone if cancer runs in their family or they live an unhealthy lifestyle.

People whose lungs have been abused from any source.

Most likely: smokers.
Second most likely: people exposed to secondhand smoke, usually in the home or workplace.
Also people with jobs exposing them to a lot of dust or chemicals, but usually they get other deadly lung diseases.
As you age you are also more likely to get lung cancer, as with most other diseases, but exposure to cigarette (or cigar or pipe) smoke is the main cause.

Smoking is the number one PREVENTABLE cause of lung cancer. Heredity, family history, environment, and lifestyle all can play a part in lung cancer susceptibility. People who live in smog or smoke polluted environments are more at risk as well as people who use inhaled and smoked drugs. The lunges are designed to take in air and extract the oxygen, if other carcinogenic substances are inhaled (eg. smoke) the lungs ability to work efficiently is greatly reduced. If the lungs can not expel the foreign material due to saturation and long-term use cancer may develop.
If you smoke quit, if not don’t start!
Be Well!

The American Cancer Society states that smokers so have a higher risk of developing lung cancer than non-smokers. It's also rare for young people to get this type of cancer, although it can happen.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women worldwide. Comparatively rare in the early 20th century, lung cancer cases soared with the introduction of mass-produced cigarettes.
About 87 percent of lung cancers are due to tobacco products, either through direct smoking or passive exposure to smoking, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The number of cigarettes smoked per day and the length of time a person smokes directly impacts the risk of developing lung cancer. Men have a slightly greater chance of developing lung cancer - 1 in 12 - as compared to women who have a 1 in 17 chance. Lung cancer will account for 12 percent of all new cases of cancer.
There's more information on this topic below, including questions to ask your doctor : )
It is usually older smokers who chain smoke.These are the most likely. Gender is not an issue. Next most likely are the family members of a heavy smoker, then restaurant and tavern workers who were subjected to customers smoking for a long time. When tobacco companies started using additives, it speeded up the carcinogenic action of the smoke in the lungs, and the age where cancer set in lowered.
