how long does it take before you can get cancer from smoking??


Question:


Answers:
Most of your life!
Luck of the draw, many people get cancer without ever smoking, some people smoke for 50-60 years and never do. Smoking raises your risk for many kinds of cancer, but there is no timeline for when they may (or may not) happen.
Cancer, by the way, is only one of the problems that smoking can cause, it can also cause heart disease and emphysema, can contribute to infectious diseases, especially those of the respiratory tract (such as bronchitis and pneumonia) - and let's not forget that hacking smoker's cough.
