A member asked:

I'm wondering how long do you need to be smoking (1 pack per week) to get cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No timeline: Quit using tobacco while you are ahead. Depending on your genetic predisposition you may get cancer at varying levels of exposure to tobacco. Tobacco causes not just cancer but also causes lung disease, heart attacks, pancreatic cancer and other illnesses.
