So long as you are smoking, you are at high risk. You are exposing yourself to high levels of toxins. Cancer often results because of high toxicity. The earlier you stop smoking, the better it will be for you. Read more about lung cancer here http://www.healthandwellnesscentral.com/Article/Early-Detection-For-Lung-Cancer/10989

Anybody who smokes has a higher risk for lung cancer, regardless of family history, but with your family history smoking will very much increase your risk. Smoking increases your risk for lung cancer by about 23 times.

Your risk is increased with your grandfather dying of cancer and with you smoking. I would urge you to quit. I know it is hard. Check into Chantix. It worked for me.
