it takes years to really clean out your lungs from any kind of stuff you smoke. the longer you smoke, the more likely you are to develop cancer or emphysema. you're still young - get clean and honor your health and body. as for stress relief, go on a good long walk or run, ride your bike, any kind of exercise. nothing quite like it for the head and heart, not to mention your physical condition.

You can get lung cancer even if you never smoked. The risk of developing cancer does decrease each year after quitting smoking. There seems to be much debate about whether smoking cannabis causes cancer. If you're concerned about lung health, I suggest you not smoke anything at all or use any drugs which are inhaled. As far as stress relief goes, everyone is different. Try going for walks, visiting friends, or meditating.

In fact the SMOKING is the MAJOR cause of the lung cancer .. so if you stop smoking the risk will decrease of course
4 :
Yes but then you can get lung cancer even if you've never smoked, it's just much more common in smokers
5 :
You can get cancer from quite a few things, even second hand smoke, from your parents and friends. Every drug you stick into your body, is going to harm you in the long run. And the weed will f**.. up your brain before you get lung cancer. Try dementia. It is such a nice ailment. You'll enjoy it tremendously. Peace.

Don't worry -- it takes at least 10 pack years to develop lung cancer, so no, you can't, unless you smoked two packs a day for 5 years. Even then the risk would be small.
