Can some one of aged 18 get lung cancer?

if they only smoke about 7 a week!

tabacco not canibis

Hypothetically, yes, but it would be very very rare.

I would still recommend NOT smoking.

What I meant is that in theory yes you can get cancer even at 18 years old, but the statistics say that this is rare. Report Abuse

Her study found the risk rose more than five-fold among the third of users smoking the most cannabis. "In conclusion there is a relationship between cannabis smoking and lung cancer in this study," she said. "Approximately 5 per cent of lung cancer cases in those aged 55 and under may be attributable to cannabis..."

This equates to about 15 new cases a year - in 2002, 306 people aged 18-55 were diagnosed with lung cancer in New Zealand.

The study questioned about 60 people with lung cancer from eight health districts between Waikato and Canterbury and more than 200 "controls" - people randomly selected from electoral rolls in the same areas. They were asked about risk factors, including cannabis and tobacco use.

No, you aren't likely to develop lung cancer from smoking as a teenager. However, you increase your likelihood of developing it later in life. I know when you are 18 you don't think about when you are 40 or 50, but you will be 40 or 50 one day. Do you want to be a 40-year old with lung cancer or without lung cancer?

Lung cancer is not a highly treatable cancer. Basically once you have it, it is simply a matter of time before it kills you.

You can get a form of "lung cancer" but due to the cigarettes, not so much. Extragonadal Germ Cell Cancer shows up between the ages of 18 and 23. It is a cancer that typically starts with a mass in the chest and shoots tumors to the brain and testicles. My friend died from it at the age of 23, exactly 1 year ago on 8-13-08.

It increases your risk of getting cancer later in life, so maybe you'll get it when you're 40.

Not now, but maybe later in life. Please dont smoke its terrible and bad for you.
