A member asked:
When i smoke it hurts in my lungs. is it really possible too feel pain in the lungs? i will stop smoking. have i developed first stage lung cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If it hurts when you smoke, stop smoking. Don't make excuses or imagine symptoms. If you are that concerned, ask your doctor about a chest x-ray, but in reality, you are too young for that problem. Just stop smoking.
