Does this sound like it could be lung cancer

Does this sound like it could be lung cancer?
Two summers ago I smoked approx. 25 cigarettes and was fine afterwards. Last week I had two more cigarettes (1 roll-up and one pre rolled) and have been feeling slightly breathless and have been coughing a bit more than usual. I am 18 years old and my parents smoked up until I was 6. My mother also smoked during pregnancy.

The fact that your mother smoked during pregnancy explains how you would think this.

lol....NO. It's not cancer. 18 years old do not get lung cancer... and if by some strange reason they did, its not from smoking 26 ciggerets lmao.

If you keep this up, you will end of getting cancer, but I do not think that it is cancer, I think that it is your lungs getting affected by all the smoke that you inhale. But after a while you will get worse and worse! Just try to quit your habit and your lungs will heal on their own. i am no doctor, but this is a strong opinion. And this is what I think is true.

Lung cancer? No. A reason to not smoke? Yes. It takes a lot more than 27 cigarettes to get lung cancer, but since your parents smoked and (sadly) your mom did during pregnancy you might have a predisposition to lung cancer. As little as you smoke, your body is still going through the trouble to tell you it doesn't like it. If you smoke more -- which you shouldn't -- your body will get used to it. Then you'll get cancer or heart disease or something else. Signs of lung cancer include a cough that won't go away, coughing up blood, chest pain and other signs.
