16 old. what is my risk on throat cancer or lung cancer i used to smoke littlebit electronic cigar every day from my friend about 7 months ihav quit.

Probably low risk: Glad you aren't keeping up this unhealthy habit. Electronic cigarettes are so new it is not known what the risk of cancer is from using them. That said, your short duration of use and young age would probably make the risk lower than if you used them heavily for many years and were older. If you have particular concerns, see your doctor.
