What are the chances someone who smokes will get lung cancer?


I am interested in an answer from someone familiar with the statistics if possible.

I heard once that lung cancer strikes about 1 or 2 smokers in 10. I don't know if that is a good number, but I think it is.
However, lung cancer is NOT the only way smoking can kill you and none of them are quick. Smoking contributes to a number of different cancers, heart disease, and emphysema. Emphysema is a terrible way to die. You can't get enough air. Then you go on oxygen and after a while you still cannot get enough air.
In addition, smoking makes you look old. Nicotine causes the blood vessels to contract which cuts down the blood supply to your skin so your skin looks older quicker than normal aging.
About 25%.
I don't know, but it isn't worth taking a chance and start smoking.
Good luck. Pops
My thoughts.
Don't know don't do it
A lot more than someone that does not smoke.
