How early can Cancer strike?

[SinisterK]

Just wondering. I've been smoking cigarettes daily for a little shorter than a year. Quitting is hard. But I have no excuses, when I'm seriously ready to quit I believe I will.

lung cancer as early as your 30's
other cancers? you are born with them. some progress in people, and some people they dont. Do all you can to give up the cigs. If it's an excuse you need , use this one.... Tobacco contributes large amounts of cash to keep cannabis illegal and the cannabis user in jail. Sounds like a good enough excuse to me. When you buy tobacco, and you use cannabis, you build your own cage for them to stick you in.

Cancer is a scary thing. Happens to even the healthiest of people.

I'm not sure people are so much born with cancer as much as many are born with a genetic propensity toward it developing later in life. Most everyone's born with normal cells, and cancer happens when normal cells in various places in the body alter their behavior and structure and begin growing at especially fast rates. Genes play a role in many cancers. Viruses in many others. And environmental and lifestyle factors (like smoking) play a role in many more.

Do a Google on lung cancer and read all about it. Its early symptoms are often hard to recognize, which is why it's so deadly because it gets a head start before it's finally treated. Keep trying to quit smoking till you succeed! Lung cancer is awful, and so is emphysema. Both of those diseases are completely preventable if people don't start--or quickly quit--smoking.

Right, studys show that cannabis smoke doesn't cause cancer.

I was definitely talking about cigarette smoke. Cannabis smoke doesn't do the same damage that tobacco and its additives do.

Ok good. Just making sure ;-)

funy thing about cigs...

ever notice u put a joint in an ashtray and it goes out but u put a cig down and it burns to the filter? there is what could best be called gunpowder in the paper. some of the most common brands of commercial cigs contain up to 117 added chemicals, many would never be allowed in any food product, but still injested when u smoke. if u really enjoy tobacco, smoke some pure tobacco that is rolled in pure rice paper.... its still not the best thing for u, but that other sh*t will kill u.
