Alohakeia, We're very happy that you did quit after all! After being quit for 10 years your chances of getting lung cancer decreases by 50 - 70 % 10 years after the last cigarette and pre-cancerous cells are replaced by healthy, normal cells. However, depending on other genetic and environmental factors there is still a chance that ex-smokers will develop cancer. As an ex-smoker it's important to focus on all of the short and long term health benefits and social benefits of quitting. Brenna, Bilingual Health Educator

Yeah, see this is one of the reasons I kept smoking..or at least did not seriously think about quitting. Saw too many cases of lung cancer after someone quit. I still don't know what to make of this phenomenon. Mods, you have any explanations for it?

I talked to a person today who's mother quit smoking 25 years ago. She did smoke for 40 years...she is dying from lung cancer. I thought that our bodies could repair the damage done, esp to the lungs. It was scary to hear this./ new me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 326 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,824 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,630.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 45 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 50

Cigarette smoking causes 87 percent of lung cancer deaths. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. Smoking is also responsible for most cancers of the larynx, oral cavity and pharynx, esophagus, and bladder. In addition, it is a cause of kidney, pancreatic, cervical, and stomach cancers, as well as acute myeloid leukemia. Brenna, Bilingual Health Educator
