What Causes Bacterial Pneumonia?

Hello,I am a 30 year old female with no prior health problems and got bacterial pneumonia. How common is this in people my age who have no prior lung problems? Is it likely that my living in a damp climate has to do with it, especially since I am originally from dry Arizona? Lastly, do you have any advice for how to improve lung health as I recover? I am taking Levofloxacin for 7 days as treatment. Thank you
