There may be no signs at all, until it's late stages. Smoking cigarettes causes chronic cough, along with congestion. Oftentimes, these symptoms will worsen, however, most people would just think they were getting bronchitis maybe pneumonia, and would ignore more severe symptoms. My mom suspected more and asked to go to the ER, where they x-rayed. The radiologist did find a tumor in it's very earliest stages, and she survived for five years. When she was diagnosed the second time, she showed some symptoms, but passed away within one month of diagnosis, so early detection is very much key to survival with this type of cancer.
