What is the chance that a smoker would get lung cancer after smoking for about 20 years?

Smoking for a long period of time can increase your chances of not only lung cancer but mouth, throat, and stomach cancer. I believe I read in a newspaper that smoking increases your cancer risk by about 30%.

If you don't have a family history of cancer, then the odds are 1 in 10,000.
