A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low likelihood: If you only smoked for 2 years, your risk is fairly low. Even though you are at slightly higer risk than non-smokers, that risk is still low. Most smoking diseases show up later (copd, cancer, etc.) and 2 years isn't usually long enough to cause those.
