Not likely,unless it shown up with family members.If you do smoke trouble will be slow but decisive
2 :
Very unlikely. Young for lung cancer is someone under 45 and when someone young gets lung cancer smoking has nothing to do with it.

You don't give any more information such as how long you have smoked for or how much you do smoke so it's hard to answer your question. The likelihood of getting lung cancer at 23 is small, however, NOT impossible & the longer you continue to smoke that chance increases. If you stop smoking after smoking for 10 yrs then in another 10 yrs your lungs will be near to the lungs of a non-smoker. This is not to say that you won't experience other health problems later on in life such as COPD. Basically, the longer you smoke & the more you smoke will all increase your chance of getting lung cancer. Not all smokers will get cancer but the risk is considerably greater than that of a non-smoker. Hope this helps.

Why do you smoke at such an age when you already realize that it can get you in big trouble sooner or later. You have the wisdom to sense the danger and the intelligent approach would be to try and give it up as soon as possible. It is easier now than at a later date by which time, your addiction to smoking would not permit you to stop smoking even if you wanted to. You are a smart guy and so make the wise and right choice by giving up smoking totally. I wish you all success in this effort and may you lead a long and healthy life.

Almost 0. Lung cancer is virtually unheard of in people under 30, and extremely rare until at least 40s.
