that chance would be high. smoking a pack is like dumping a cup of tar into your lungs. so if you are thinking of starting, then don't. of course that's my opinion

Pretty damn good. Depends on how your body reacts to things though. Not everyone who smokes will get it. Even if they smoked their entire lives. But you're stressing your lungs more than normal. Because of that, the possibility is much higher. Don't forget that other complications could occur before lung cancer starts. You might get a heart attack instead, which is worse in my opinion. I recommend quitting . Easier said than done, I know. But it's an expensive and bad habit all around. I wish you well.

The chances of getting lung cancer are 99% probable. Smoking feeds the cancer that lies dormant in our bodies. My suggestion is to NEVER START or, STOP SMOKING. I know because I have smoked over 50 years and now I have stage 3-b lung cancer.

You've got more than lung cancer to worry about. I read some research that indicated smoking increased your likelihood of suffering from 13 different disease entities.
