smoking cigars

hi, I'm 15 years old and I've only smoked 5 small cigars in my life.  after my last one I've been feeling a feeling In my throat. I don't know if it's because I am upsessing about having mouth cancer but the point is I also got a dry throat the next day...but for 5 cigars can not being inhaled can it cause mouth cancer? I have stopped smoking them but I am really scared I know it was stupid to do but I'm scared now so I don't know if I can't mouth cancer from that...there r many people who smoke cigars in this world and I'm sure most of them don't get mouth cancer and smoke more than 5 so Idk how 5 cigars can cause it please help

5 cigars will not give you cancer. Cancer takes years to show up after the exposure. Having said that, you should definitely stop smoking as you are wise to be thinking about your risk of getting cancer. You will be 35 one day even though it seems a long time away and you want to be healthy not worrying about something you could have avoided by making the right choice at your age.

Take care.
