Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Not in this short duration.Studies shows that ten years of smoking increases chances of lung cancer 50% and as early you start in young age, chances are even more. Even if you smoke for ten years and then stop chances are going to remain more than general population howevr will not increase further. So save your health and save your future, stop smoking.If you are in stress, consult psychiatrist not ciggerets.Thanks.
