Smoking just one pack of cigarettes a day can increase the risk of lung cancer by ten times the normal rate. There are various forms of lung cancer but they all have smoking in common. The longer a person smokes the greater their risk of developing lung cancer. Quitting smoking as soon as possible has positive effects on the risks of lung cancer developing.
