YES! every smoker has a chance of getting cancer, But if you do get it dont worry bvecause there is a cure,b ut the fda doesn't want you to know about it. If you go to the websitre I will give you you can find it there. seriously. if the doctors cured cancer there wouldn't be any more cancer and the drug companies would lose out and the cancer doctors would lose there jobs. Thats why they hide cure from the public. If the cures were released there would be no more pills. Do you ever hear of anybody that works for the fda getting cancer and dying? no. because they know the cure.

all smokers risk serious disease. Statistics show that lung cancer is caused decades before it shows up, due to the chromosomal damage caused by tar after only 2 years of smoking. So smoke for 2 years, and your chances of getting lung cancer 30 years later are almost identical to someone that never quit.

Why would being 15 or 16 eliminate you from the same issues smokers of other ages have? The longer you smoke, the higher % chance you'll have complications from it...at 15/16 your body hasn't finished developing...it's likely to affect you worse NOW than someone who hadn't been smoking long, but didn't start until they were many years older than you.

Yes. Any carcinogen that enters a body, no matter what age, has the potential of encouraging cancer growth. Don't smoke at any age, especially at 15-16. You have the rest of your life for trying stupid things. Smoking will only make you feel tired and short of breath before causing cancer or emphysema. Try swimming instead!;) Oh dear God, I'm sure Heather means well, but there is no cure for cancer.

If you smoke you put your health at a serious risk. There is no age minimum or maximum. Smoking harms everyone who does it in one way or another. You are only 15 or 16? Just stop now. It only gets more difficult to quit and more dangerous for your health the longer you do it. Good luck with that.

All smokers, regardless of their age have a chance at getting a serious disease.

YES! Plus I would like to know how the heck a 15 or 16 year old can get the money to buy a pack. Isn't it around $6 bucks.

Anyone who smokes runs a risk of getting cancer. Some people can get it very quickly, others take years. Smoking causes your fingers and mouth to stink, your fingers and mouth to be stained, shortness of breath, asthma, bronchitis, reduces your immune system, strains your heart, raises your blood pressure, restricts your blood vessels. Never mind the fact that it leads to throat, lung, or mouth cancer.

Anyone who smokes or exposed to smoke are at risk for illness. It takes less than one minute for smoke to paralyze the cilia in your lungs then you can not move mucus normally so you have to cough. If you are that young best advice is quit. Your lungs have a chance to heal.
