So from almost zero percent to still almost zero percent.
- EasyMark 2y agowell smoking tobacco only increases your chances ~20 fold for lung cancer, so still almost zero to still almost zero?
- g00gler 2y agoI could be wrong but I think the other effects of smoking are worse for quality of life as you age and are way more common than cancer. I knew a lot of lifelong smokers. I believe only one got lung cancer, didn’t die of it, but all that lived long enough had oxygen tanks, at least periodically, later in their lives.

- ImaCake 2y agoSmoking anything carries an increased risk of developing COPD. It’s not super important what plant it is.
- TechDebtDevin 2y ago> 10% of smokers develop lung cancer. < 10% of all lung cancers are found in non smokers. The risk isn't really comparable with smoking tobacco.
- stephen_g 2y agoThe rates that are non-zero but small are chance of being diagnosed over some time period, usually one year. What matters more is lifetime risk though, which adds up. We’re probably talking going from a single digit percentage chance to something three to five times that.
