When you quit smoking can you still get lung cancer? -
Yes, but if you quit your chances are reduced. Alot of people don-t know this, but the lungs instantly begin repairing themselves as soon as you quit smoking! You should do it, because the damage can be reversed over time.
Yes. Damage is already done.
yes but if you stop sooner the better off you will be
tip if you cant use the patch use hipnoses or go to a specialized doctor
People get lung cancer that have never smoked in their life.
it is still healthier to quit
Yes. Damage has already been done. Also smoking is not the onle cause of lung cancer.
Your chance is HIGHER if you still smoke i you quite then you will still get lung cancer.
Yes, you can even get lung cancer if you-ve never smoked. However, quitting will drastically reduce your chances of getting it.
Yes, people can get lung cancer rather they smoke or not. Still, as a smoker, I know that I am putting myself at risk everytime I light up. I want to quit but it is SO HARD! Good luck...xxxxturtlegirl
Yes, you can. However, immediately on quitting your chances of getting it start dropping. I believe the last study I saw showed that after 5 years of non-smoking, ex-smokers had the same risk rate for lung cancer as non-smokers.
You can get lung cancer even if you-ve never smoked a day in your life. Your *risk* of lung cancer goes down after you quit, but it takes up to 15 years for it to return to the same level as someone who never smoked. The longer you smoke and the more you smoke, the greater the risk of getting cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas, as well as the risk of heart disease, emphysema and stomach ulcers.
I-ve heard that the younger you are when you quit, the better chance you have of regenerating some of your lung tissue. I believe there are some supplements to help repair the lungs as well. I would try asking on WebMD.com.
you can get lung cancer even if you dont smoke...smoking increases your odds.... plus you can get many other types of cancer from smoking
Yes. I knew a guy who quit and then six years later got lung cancer. But people also get lung cancer who have never smoked a single cigarette.
yes....but you should still quit, by smoking your not only hurting you, but your hurting the ones around you...the ones that you love.....second hand somke is just as bad as if that person smoked.
Yup...but quit ANYWAY...your chances are MUCH better then if you continue to smoke.
Yes, but you can get lung cancer even if you-ve never smoked- although it-s rare. Stopping is one huge step toward protecting yourself, however...and in time, your odds of cancer are the same as someone-s who never smoked.
