Answer 5

Hi there,

NOTE: This is my personal opinion. I am not a medical professional, and thus cannot give you a proper daignosis. Use my advice at your own discretion.

I am not going to lie. From what I've heard, smoking increases your chance of getting oral, respitory and other forms of cancer significantly. The fact that you smoke in great numbers also concerns me. However, since I am not medical professional, my opinion does not count for much, and could not be accurate. So, my recommendation to you is to go see your doctor about this. He or she can tell you what this means in regards to you overall health and your risk of developing cancer...He or she can also help you find ways to quit.

Anyway, I hope this helps! Good luck, and I hope this answer wins best answer...

Answer 6

As a general rule for cancer to start it takes multiple mutations over time.  It is very rare for a very young person to get lung cancer.  Only after years of smoking does it usually happen.  Having said that...smoking 5 packs a day would probably increase your chances even higher than the average smoker.

People often die from other smoking related diseases (heart disease, emphysema, etc.) before lung cancer becomes an issue.

Also, 'pot' is not a good substitute...

Answer 7

How the heck can you smoke that many cigarettes in one day? You bring a new meaning to chain smoker.

I'd have to say yes... at 5 packs a day you are bound to get cancer.

Holy cow... time to quit.

Answer 8

well thats good.

you will probably go broke and wind up homeless.

Answer 9

I did too up until 3 years ago I quit and so can you.  The more you smoke the more you put that cancer risk closer to you.

Answer 10

Lung cancer is most likely not your biggest enemy.  You most likely are in appauling physical shape, you can't run or walk, climb stairs, swim...  Your heart arteries are most likely blocked and you surely suffer from chronic bronchitis and sinus and throat related ailments.

But someone *did* mention before, that it's next to impossible for you to be smoking that much.  Unless you power-nap while inhaling..?!

Answer 11

Something tells me you're not being truthful. Maybe it's the fact that there are 100 cigarettes in 5 packs and only 1,440 minutes in a 24-hour period. That means you'd have to light a cigarette every 14 and a half minutes and never sleep. Highly unlikely.
