Depends on your body. Some people can smoke a pack a day for 50 years and never get lung cancer. Then there's those who get it and have never smoked a cigarette in their life. Just depends. I guess on genes mostly.

I don't think anybody really knows because that would depend on other factors too plus the ironies that life brings. To cite examples, someone I know had been smoking for since he was a teen-ager (more than a pack of Marlboro a day) and yet he died of heart attack at the age of 57. Then there is this woman who died of lung cancer due to secondary smoke from her husband's smoking (the husband who smokes is still alive though).

If I were your girlfriend, I would have a long talk with my mother and let her know that she is not only killing herself but her daughter as well. Is this what she really wants to do? Passive smoke is just as bad. Talk to her about quitting smoking and give her all the support that you can. It is not an easy thing to do. If she won't quit, then ask her not to smoke any where near you. If she loves you, she will get the message. I have seen people die from smoking and it is not pretty. Talk to her.

There is a difference between lung cancer and the effects from smoking which will make you sick, short of breath and make you stink. You will stink very quickly and then you will die. Wake up to yourself.

Much depends on how you take care of yourself. Not all smokers get lung cancer.

it is not the years but it is the quantum of cigarettes smoked are to be taken into consideration.

There is no set time limit. It varies for everyone. I was tired of worrying about it so I quit. That's the way to get your best odds.
