A member asked:

I am 25. 5 yrs smoking history but quit it 3 mnths ago. coughing brown phelgm & chest pain sometime. is it lung cancer or lung cancer possible at 25 ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Lung cancer takes quite a while to develop. Your lungs are just clearing out the leftover garbage left down in there from smoking. This is pretty common. Congratulations on quitting smoking - probably the BEST thing you could ever do for your health!
