Lung cancer risk increases with smoking duration and amount; duration has the most effect: smoking one pack of cigarettes a day for 40 years is more hazardous than smoking two packs a day for 20 years.
As soon as you stop smoking, your risk of lung cancer starts to go down. 10 years after you’ve stopped smoking, your lung cancer risk is half that of someone who has continued to smoke.
Smoking cigarettes is the single biggest risk factor for lung cancer. 90% of lung cancers are caused by smoking.
