This question is impossible to answer.

If you are a smoker I suggest you stop even if you smoke very little as if can still cause cancer. It's also a disgusting habit and selfish because it also harms those around you.

If you need help on quitting see your doctor and he should be able to give you advice.

A non-smoker can get lung cancer. So the exact answer to your question would be 0.

However 80% of people with lung cancer are smokers. So it's fair to say that anyone who smokes at least 1 cigarette per day increases his (her) chances of getting lung cancer or another cancer (because lung cancer is not the only cancer associated to smokers).
