Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
Yes it is right.
Now age is shifting for lung cancers from old age to young age.
You are having too much addiction of smoking and it is possibility.
But it also depends on genetic susceptibility, immunity, smoking per day etc.
Please quit smoking and the risk will reduce day by day.
Please consult your counselor or psychiatrist for quitting.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks for contacting.
Take care,,,
