I inhaled a whole balloon of helium today, and it gave me a slight headache. Can inhaling helium increase your risk of getting lung cancer?

No but the helium displaces the oxygen in your lungs...very dangerous if done too often,

Inhaling helium from a balloon (or from any source) can increase your risk of asphyxiating yourself. The headache you feel is the result of depriving your brain of desperately needed oxygen. There is no oxygen in helium. Did you begin to feel sleepy?
