I am 16 I have been smoking a year you can
develop lung cancer pretty fast I mean it
seems like it can develop when you first
pick up the dirty habit. It is suppose to
form in a period of time.Maybe someone
else knows.

Wether you smoke or not you can still get
lung cancer at any time. Smoking greatly
increases your chances. I smoked for 9
years and have been quit for 7 months.
You can do it too. Luckily I have not
developed lung cancer but I still can. My
uncle was quit smoking for 3 years before
he develpoed lung cancer. The doc told
him his smoking had a lot to do with it.
Unfortunatly lung cancer is often fatal
and he did not make it. I hope this helps
and if you want any advice on quitting let
me know.
Keep smiling,

Don't Smoke... Posted: 04-23-04 05:53am
I started when I was 14 or so and smoked
for nearly 20 years. Every one of
those years I knew I needed to quit.
I even did once, for 9 months before
starting again.
This last time though, I quit for good.
It's been a year and close to 4 months -
a new years resolution gone right.
Young or old, quit smoking. It takes
a tremendous effort, but you can do it and
every day is full of good reasons.
Good luck!

I wish I would have never smoked. It
made me cough for 6 years and filled my
lungs with tar. Fear not, there is hope.
I found a vaporizer and can vouch that
they work. Of course not smoking is a
better option, but try out one of the good
ones out there like vapolution or vapor
doc. Way less tar = minimal cancerous
chemicals entering the body.
