A member asked:
My friend used to smoke..all she did was puff the cigarettes at a young age. should she be scared to go to a doctor?!

Fear : Fear of medical care is common enough, especially when there is a history of risky behavior. Your friend is at very low risk of cigarette related illness if she indeed quit smoking when she was young. She is at higher risk of cervical cancer or other problems, so she should go see her doc.
