How many years of smoking does it take to develop Lung Cancer ?

Well, Lung Cancer is never guaranteed, even if you are a smoker. Statistics show that only 15% of Lung Cancer cases are smokers, so that means that 1. There is a good chance that you will not get it, and 2. Smokers comprise a minority of Lung cancer cases.

However, many smokers get pneumonectasis, or emphysema, which is also potentially Fatal.

I would definitely try to quit, Because smoking does awful things to the body, and there are trace amounts of over 2,000 toxins in a cigarette and it's smoke. Source(s): I am a student at a high school with a medical focus, and I have done laboratory research.
22 years of smoking here ..... and nothing yet (cough cough)
Depends how long, how much, how often, and what kind of cigarettes/cigars they smoked
depends how much you smoke, if you have filters on the end:)

i have been smoking for 10 yrs i dont have it

lol who knows depends

dont smoke its bad for ya

but it is hard as hell to quit i know this:)
very few. Some people who don't even smoke, and NEVER smoked, get lung cancer from 2nd hand smoke, so if you smoked even for a short while, you can have the toxins in your system that can cause cancer.
the first cigarette. never begin if you don't want to know
