Let’s say someone is a cigarette smoker. Each time they light a cigarette, are they chancing the fact that it could contain the carcinogen that will start the cancer that will be an issue for them years later, or is it a gradual build up of carcinogens in the body eventually causing lung cancer? Like, could the hypothetical hot dog I’m eating right now be responsible for cancer years down the line?

The way atleast I understand it is cancer is caused by cells not dying properly. There is a small chance that a cell can become a cancer cell and you increase the odds by killing more cells than necessary. That’s why kids can get cancer.
