Statiscally, a person who smokers for 30 years or more, has about a 1 in 7 chance on getting lung cancer. Thats about all the info I can give you. Since you quit at 40, odds are you didnt smoke for 30 years, so your chances are probably less.

Smoking IS NOT the only cause of lung cancer. And I bet your father had lung cancer for a while before they caught it. You still might get it, maybe because you poisoned yourself for a majority of your life, or maybe because you've been exposed to other factors.
