Hello! I am 22 years old. I started smoking 2 years ago and I take 15 cigarettes daily. I want to know what big issues will face in the future. Actually my question is if I get lung cancer or some other deadly disease when will get it if continued smoking at this rate? And will I end my life with that disease or it will just get painful. Thank you!

Dear lybrate-user smoking has many harmful effects on heart and lung. It is difficult to predict when you will manifest symptoms, bu the damage is already done. You must try to give it up as you take too many cigarrettes in a day. Copd can be a very difficult disease with breathlessness. You can live many years with it but it is quite distrssing as you are constantly and progressively breathless/ please stop smoking. There are goups that can help. Also nicotine gum to help you leave smoking.
