Im asking for my father. Im 13 hes 49, i'm really scared for him; i just thought of it now. Hes been smoking since age 15; he just coughs; he doesnt really complain about pain or anything. But it has been brought to my attention; can he have it? I don't want to bring it up to him; he doesn't have a doctor, so we cant really tell by that. I'm just scared i don't want to lose him.

It is something that has to be diagnosed by a doctor. We do not usually know until cancer markers, scans or chest x-rays show something untoward. He could have something like asthma or emphysema right now, but there is always the chance that it could progress to cancer if he continues irritating his lungs with smoke. Share your concern with him and encourage him to find a general practitioner; general practitioners cannot only refer to specialists if they think something is amiss, but they can also help your father stop smoking.
