Today, my dad asked me if I'd started smoking, I gave him a big speech about how I never have and never will. Two hours later, he found my stash of cigarettes under my bed. FML

Two hours earlier would have been one thing, e.g. caught in a lie. But here you told your dad something, and he knew you well enough to check you were telling the truth. You should worry about character more than lung cancer.

I hope you get untreatable lung cancer.

If you smoke you MAY get cancer. If you talk on the cell phone you MAY get cancer. If you get behind the wheel of a car you MAY get into an accident. If you go to school you MAY get shot. I even read an article that said if you exercise regularly you have a higher risk of dying from sudden cardiac arrest. Let's all sit at home locked up in a cell, ingesting liquid food through a tube so there's no risk of choking. Or, let's enjoy our short lives however we want to.

The risk associated with smoking is a lot higher than the others that you mentioned. Also, unlike smoking, those things have useful purposes which make it worth the risks to do them anyway. Case in point, almost every relative I have who smoked has died of cancer. My grandpa quit twenty years ago after having a major heart attack (smoking increases your risk of this) and since then he is doing much better, but every health problem he has was caused by smoking. Even though the risks are there, no one I know who uses a car or a cell phone, goes/went to school, or exercises (and everyone I know does at least two of these regularly) has died or had serious, life-long health problems from that. Your analogy is flawed.

well, it looks like you've gotten the point, but YDI. Not only are you screwed for smoking (in more ways than one, I might add), but boy, do you look like an ass for the speech. Hypocrite. And why the hell would you even start smoking? Now that everyone knows it's bad for you, that's your choice if you want to take the risk of getting all sorts of cancer. Feel like a tracheotomy? How about emphysima? The health risks are very clear, so good luck with those. And seriously...under the bed? Who hasn't tried that and gotten busted? Normally I try to give the OP the benefit of the doubt, but seriously, you totally deserve whatever you get. If you just started smoking, you're not one of the people that had no idea what they were getting into when they started smoking a couple decades ago. No sympathy here.

YDI for lying. You can’t hide smoking from anyone anyhow… it stinks. You will reek no matter what – it stays in your hair, your clothes, your skin… I smoked for years and finally quit. If you can quit, do it. It’s a horrible thing to HAVE be chained to a pack of smokes wherever you go and whatever you are doing. Either way, I don’t really care.
