Cancer

I am 19 and have smoked probably about 40 cigarettes in my whole life, which is two packs i think. Im not addicted, so i thought i shoudl quit while i was ahead, so i ended up quitting a few weeks ago. i was just wondering if by smoking these cigarettes, even as small amount as it is, could i possibly have lung cancer? the only thing that is leading me to believe this is my paranoia.
also is there anything i can do to help heal my lungs, (drinking water?) my father has smoked unfiltered cigarettes for over 20 years and does not have cancer so im hoping that uit would take more than 40 for me to develop cancer.

and please ddot write an answer explaining the danger or smoking and how i should quit, because im aware of the danger and i have quit.

I understand this. I think I will feel the same way when it's my turn to face it, but I am concerned about her changing her mind midway along in her treatment. What would she (we as a family) be faced with? What would the options be? How long does she have left with these decisions she has made? She is not saying...... Is this something I should butt in and talk to her Doctor about? She is competent and completely in charge of and taking care of all her own healthcare arrangements. Should I keep out of it?

NOV-002, the lead compound acts as a chemoprotectant and an immunomodulator. It is marketed in Russia by PharmaBAM under the trade name Glutoxim®, and has been administered to over 5,000 patients, demonstrating clinical efficacy and excellent safety. The U.S.-based Phase 1/2 clinical trial of NOV-002 for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been completed, with positive results. During an End-of-Phase 2 meeting, the FDA agreed that advancing NOV-002 into a pivotal Phase 3 trial in advanced NSCLC, in combination with first-line chemotherapy, is warranted. In May 2006, Novelos finalized a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) with the FDA for a single pivotal trial, obtained Fast Track designation in August 2006, and this Phase 3 trial commenced in November 2006. NOV-002 is also in Phase 2 development for chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer and early-stage breast cancer, and is in addition being developed for acute radiation injury.

Sharesa Price in Florida in the SunSentinel newpaper was recorded of winning a legal litigation against her workplace who made her use a cell phone and the doctor of the (Erin Brockovich) case read the medical info and concluded the woman had a brain tumor from using her cell phone. It was 2005, and it was real. Who is gonna pay these cost of litigation. Not the companies. It appears the government will with tax dollars. www.emfscience.net if you have questions ask there.
