A member asked:
I'm 16 yes old and a smoker for about 2 years and i have a red bump in the back of my throat and a cough could i have throat cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smoker: Smoking can cause cancer at any time. Although its more common the longer you smoke. The red spot if no other cause is found could be related to the smoking. At your age it would be prudent for you to consider stopping.
