Can 8 months of smoking be enough to give someone tongue cancer?

Low but always: possible. Quit now. The more you smoke the higher the probability.

Unlikely: It is unlikely to get Tongue Cancer after smoking for only 8 months But if you continue to smoke it does increase the risk of cancer in the mouth
