Most shit will cause lung cancer if you make it into a powder and inhale enough of it.

Water. (Snow or frost)

Pretty sure that if you got snow in your lungs you would get pneumonia, or perhaps frostbite in your lungs. if you get frost bite in your lungs repeatedly, just as any other repeated injury it can increase your risk of cancer in those cells that are repeatedly damaged.

What if you got Celtic Frost, or David Frost into your lungs?

Or how about Frosted Cornflakes? (Fun fakt: Tony the Tiger’s real name is Anthony Tigris, but his close friends call him ‘Panties’ for binomial reasons as well as his penchant for white lacies)

In this case it's pretty much the same risk as inhaling asbestos dust. Fun fact, in the past, beer was filtered through asbestos, which was perfectly safe because asbestos is only dangerous when inhaled. Nowadays it's filtered through Kieselgur because its properties are pretty much identical to those of asbestos.
