Only 10% of lifelong smokers get cancer!. Most of these people smoked more than a pack a day for 30 years or more before it's diagnosed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Something as small as one cigarette can cause cancer though unlikely, when there are people who smoke their whole lives and never get cancer, but that is also very rare!. The great thing about your lungs, is that they can heal!. So if you quite now your lungs will start to heal itself!. Smoking can cause other health problems as well!. I congratulate you for deciding to quit, but make sure you have support, it can be very hard to quit even after one year of use!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Even if you smoke only one cigarette, you had a chance of getting a cancer my dear!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Smoke is a carcinogenic!. It causes cancer because it causes cancer cells to be activated in your body!. It doesn't matter how much or for how long since everyones bodies are different and reacts differently to things!.

So why take the chance!?!?!?!?!?Don't smoke and you won't have to worry about it!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

One cigarette makes you vulnerable, smoking for one year just makes you more vulnerable!. Stop now!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

it kills you!! if it can kill ya i think it can give ya cancer! especially lung cancer, same w/ cell phones, but brain cancer/tumorWww@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on your gene!. I know people who smoked packs of cigarettes each day for most of their lives but lived to their 80's or 90's and never got lung cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it takes much longer than a year for smoking to cause cancer!. If you got it after just a few years, then you were going to get it anyway, smoking or not!. For some reason, people on here like to try to scare people with lies - see above "one cigarette can kill" - LOL!

Smoking one pack a day for 30 years would probably not cause cancer, and that is over 200,000 cigarettes!Www@Answer-Health@Com

About 10 percent of men and 20 percent of women with lung cancer never smoked!. You are just increasing your chances further!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I never smoked in my life and I was diagnosed with cancer!. If you have the chance while you are healthy to stop, I would!. The other side of the coin is, if you are diagnosed with any deadly disease, the risks are far greater if you are a smoker than if you are not!. I was diagnosed with lymphoma which is not from smoking, but since I was a non smoker, it gave me better odds of beating the disease!. Believe me, you do not want to go through chemotherapy, or be told that they cannot help you!. Life is something that you should cherish and not throw away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
