How long does it take to get lung cancer if you start smoking at the age of 15

It is impossible to directly determine how long it will take for someone to get lung cancer if they start smoking at the age of 15, because there is no authoritative clinical data to support this, but it is clear that smoking increases the risk of lung cancer.

Smoking is an unhealthy lifestyle habit. Cigarettes usually contain a lot of nicotine, tar and other ingredients. During the smoking process, the above ingredients will directly enter the lungs, causing damage to lung cells, which will increase the risk of lung cancer. However, at present, there is no authoritative data on how long smoking will lead to lung cancer. In addition to smoking, the cause of lung cancer is also related to genetic factors, lifestyle factors, etc., so there is no authoritative answer.

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor disease in clinical practice. Symptoms such as dyspnea and chest pain may occur after the disease. If the above suspected symptoms occur, you should go to the respiratory department, oncology department and other departments of a regular hospital in time for treatment. You can complete X-ray examinations, CT examinations and other examinations under the guidance of the doctor to make a clear judgment. Regardless of whether the disease is diagnosed or not, you should quit smoking as soon as possible to avoid affecting your health.
