That can not be known, some people smoke their entire lives and never get cancer. Just be careful with what you put into your body.

You don't. Cigarettes don't give you cancer. Stop listening to your government.

Just quit smoking! There is no brand less likely to cause cancer; there are some brands such as filterless that have an even larger incidence of lung cancer, but all cigarettes have a great risk of causing lung cancer as well as many other cancers. It sounds as though you have the will power to quit. Do it now and in 10 years your risk for lung cancer will be the same as a nonsmoker. You are young; youhave so much time to stop the ill effects you are causing to your body. The carbon monoxide in ciagarettes is basically starving your body from getting oxygen. Hemoglobin in the body has an affinity for carbon monoxide more than oxygen; when present carbon monoxide will attach to the hemoglobin instead of the oxygen thereby depriving your body and tissues, heart, kidneys,liver, etc...of the needed and appropriate amounts of oxygen. Overtime this causes damage. Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen from your lungs to the tissues throughout the body. Trust me when I say that you do not want to end up with COPD or emphysema either. Those are both lung diseases that can be caused from smoking. I am a nurse and I have cared for many patients with lung cancer and with emphysema and COPD. It is horrible for the patient to go through. They in essence feel like they are constantly being smothered, unable to get a good breath, cancer patients suffer severe pain. Also, lung cancer by the time it is found is usually beyond the point of "cure" and reallly just at a prolong life as long as possible and keep comfortable. Lung cancer usually metastasizes to the brain and liver. If you do not feel you can quit on your own try wellbutrin (generic for Zyban). I smoked for an unbelievable amount of years (started when I was 11) I quit when I was 29. I have been quit for 7 years now. I used the wellbutrin. You continue to smoke while you are on the pills. You pick a date sometime within 2-3 weeks of taking the pills; after the first week the doseage gets increased; it starts to make cigs feel uneffective, so you start to smoke more, then they start to taste gross, so you start to cut down (you also have to make that choice to try to cut down also), work on cutting down till you get to your date then just stop on that date. Find some mints or something to fill the void of the smokes. It is still hard, but let me tell you it really takes the edge off and with determination you can do it! I hope you will take care of yourself and quit! Good Luck!
