It’s used legally for medical reasons, but I’ve heard nothing as to the effect it has on the lungs. Is it worse or the same as cigarettes?

I’m 16, I’ve smoked about 8 months, only about 1 or 2 cigarettes a day. I recently quit for good, but lately I’ve been having a dry cough and my chest will hurt a little sometimes. Idk if I am being over dramatic but is this signs of lung cancer?

Is it possible to get lung cancer (or any smoking related cancer) from a single cigarette (even if it’s hard to prove)
or is lung cancer just possible at a long time use of cigarettes?

My friend has been smoking for 40 years and has a smokers cough in the morning. He says it is not possible to get cancer from pot because cigarettes have all those unnatural additives that cause cancer.Is this correct?

ive been smoking for like 7 months and i smoke about 6 or 7 cigarettes per day and i got a sore throat and a cough and when i cough phlegm comes up could i have lung cancer? or is it just a cough when you get a cold?

i have been smoking for about 15 years average of 3 to 5 sticks of cigarettes a day and lately i experience hard coughing and heavy feeling on the back, so i slowly stopped smoking for almost a month now, i still smoke now but i don’t completely inhale it to my lungs, only on the mouth and then just blow it out. do you think i am having cancer already?

I’ve smoked about 20 something cigarettes in the entire 15 years of my life. I’ve had these small pains on my ribcage area for a few days now but they’re not really THAT painful.. and i’ve lost my appetite a bit, but i still get hungry.. I’m really scared though, but no one in my family has had lung cancer.

So last week I accidentally smoked two of my sister’s cigarettes. How long until I get cancer in my lungs?

If i am 20 years old and i smoke a pack of cigarettes a day then by what age will the chance of me getting lung cancer be over 75%?

I am a social smoker. Usually 2 at a time when I drink or out with friends. On average I smoke no more than 3 cigarettes a week. This obviously isnt good for my health. Does this behavior increase my chances of lung cancer or other diseases the same way smoking a pack a day can?
