I smoked 7 cigarettes per day between 2007 and 2009. then i quit and haven't smoked a single cigarette (not even a puff) since then. what are my chances of developing lung cancer this long after stopping?

Baseline: From your history, your risk of lung cancer is about what it would have been if you had never smoked. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
