Why is this bad for the smoker's lung?

What is the average age that smokers get lung cancer?

  • Statistically speaking, what is the average age that smokers who develop lung cancer are diagnosed? Again statistically speaking, how long has the average lung cancer patient who acquired the disease through smoking been smoking?

  • Answer:

    Statistically, the lung cancers can occur after about 20 years of smoking...though the longer one smokes the higher the risk.
