Question

which of the following risks is the least likely to affect an individual who has been smoking for only a few months?
a. lung cancer
b. shortness of breath
c. yellowing teeth
d. reduced sense of smell

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Short-term smoking (a few months) typically causes immediate or early effects like shortness of breath, yellowing teeth, and reduced sense of smell due to irritation and tar buildup. Lung cancer develops after long-term, cumulative exposure to carcinogens in tobacco, so it is the least likely to occur in only a few months.

Answer:

A. lung cancer
