 When you inhale cigarette smoke, which is full of
carcinogen, changes in the lung tissue occur almost
immediately. It damages cell that lines the lungs.
 At first your body may be able to repair this damage. But
with repeated exposure, normal cells that line the lungs get
increasingly damaged.
 Over time, the damage caused cells to act abnormally and
eventually cancer may develop.
