Not great: While smoking has been associated with lung cancer, the variant is squamous Ca. That usually requires 1 or more pcks per day and for a prolonged time measured in years. The concern now is in developing adenoCa of the lung which is more frequent and in mostly non smokers.. Periodic check ups are always worth while.
