Hi dfowler,

There's no quick answer to your question. You'll have to do a little research on your own...and there are some great resources out there for you. Check out the following CDC site and the Surgeon General's 2006 report.

Health Consequences of Smoking

I would say that you should check your lungs once every 6 months or 4 months even. If you were ever to get cancer, your lungs are a good target. Even 20 years from now, you could get lung cancer. Smoking as you did, might be the cause.

Your lungs have been exposed to a great risk. Your chances? No one can tell you for sure. But even you know yourself, they are not good. Keep a close eye on your lungs.

Good luck
