50/50.....some people smoke a pack a day for fifty years and dont get cancer, others get it from simply breathing polluted air...smoking cigarrettes increases your odds, and so not smoking decreases them....id say dont, but its your body, do as you pleasee.

Pretty good chance. It doesn't matter how much you smoke, it is still the carcinogens in your body, it might take longer but you can still get it. If it is only 10 why not just quite before it becomes more.

i would say that if you are around a smoker that lights up that much, your odds are pretty good of getting lung cancer. If you are that worried about it, tell the person to not smoke around you

Greatly reduced, than if you were smoking per day. With 10 per week, you will have the same amount of risk of contracting lung cancer as someone who lives in a densely populated city, with emmission laws from 1970. There are no official statistics for that number of cigarrettes per day, but I imagine quite close 1 packe per week. The thing to remember with odds is that everyone very optimistically includes themselves in the better odds. In our case, the 92% that don't get cancer. You must remember that you may well be in that 8%, because the people that get cancer, are just like you and me, and throughout their lives like to believe themselves to be in the percentage that don't get cancer. From one smoker to another, for that amount of smoking, you should seriously consider quitting.

It depends upon the person. Everyone is different. Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer specialist came out with a paper that said the best cancer/infection fighter found to date was Interferon. At the time it was $15,000 a gram. The paper also said that Interferon was a by-product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your body. Shortly after that the FDA tried to make Vitamin C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA has the RDA for Vitamin C set at 64 mg a day, just enough to ward off scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vitamin C and a second Nobel Prize for Organic Chemistry, said that 1000 mg a day should be the minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick or smoke. He played tennis almost daily until the day he died at 96. Personally, I got sick twice a year for 2 weeks at a time, for more than 20 years, with something to this day the doctors have no idea what it was, but for a week in the middle of those 2 weeks I was flat on my back. I started Vitamin C therapy once I gave up on the doctors. I took enough to be asymptomatic for those 2 weeks. Too much and I got diarrhea and too little and I got sick. Within a narrow range, and it followed a bell curve over those 2 weeks, I was not sick. At the height I was taking 40,000 mg a day and 300,000 over the 2 weeks. After 2 years of that I have not been sick since รข€“ more than 15 years. Vitamin C acts as a natural diuretic so you need to drink a lot of water and watch your body in total, but my kidneys did not dissolve as the doctors predicted, or get massive kidney stones as other predicted. I did not dissolve my bones as some predicted or completely calcify my joints as others predicted. I had no side effects at all. It might be something to consider.
