Doctors have discovered it depends on your genes and other environmental factors as to how long before you are at risk. Some people have a gene that means that they are very much at risk of developing lung cancer. This could mean that only 6 months worth of smoking will seal their fate.Others could smoke for 60 years and still not get it.here also seems to be a very high incidence of emphysema even among non-smokers (confirmed, 2nd highest emphysema deaths in the world!). Some people can smoke 40 cigarettes a day for 60/70 years & never get cancer. There is no set time frame for when cancer will occur or if you will get cancer.
If anything, it is selfish of other people to try to force the person with cancer (possibly using guilt) to suffer through treatment for their sake. My mom (a non-smoker all her life), was diagnosed at the end of February this year with lung cancer. She was told that without treatment she probably had 6-9 months to live and with treatment she probably had 2-2.5 years to live.
