How to tell if i have lung cancer after only smoking 2 years?

Yes: Even some non smokers can have lung cancer. Your risk is increased but not 100%.

No test: Lung cancer generally develops over numerous years. Having smoked does increase risk over longterm. It is unlikely for you to develop lung cancer in short term. Stopping, and stopping young will allow your increased risk for both lung and other diseases to decrease. http://goo.gl/q3itr.
