Question by Layne Morrison: Can weight determine lung cancer?
I’m 16 years old, 5’4 and 96 pounds, I smoke about half or less a pack a day, and I started smoking more within this year, I did on and off for about two or so years. I’ve recently gotten pains a little to the right of my left armpit, I’m thinking my lungs. I also started playing sports again this year, and supposedly that can make your lungs a bit sore. I was just curious if size mattered. Would I be more likely to develop lung cancer over someone who weighs more? I’m just obtaining symptoms, and am sore in that area.
