Can you get lung cancer from smoking one time?

Question by Becky S: Can you get lung cancer from smoking one time?
I guess the question kind of explains itself but I tried a cigarette for the first time last night and I dont plan on doing it again so can get I get lung cancer from just the one time? I only smoked half of it before I stopped.

No, you cannot get lung cancer from smoking one time. However, nonsmokers can develop lung cancer. Cancer can develop over time from breathing in second-hand smoke, pollution and other carcinogenic materials. Don’t worry about you smoking that one time- damage to the lungs is repaired and contaminant particles are gradually removed over time (assuming you don’t smoke again!)
