I would say you probably already have it and just don't know it. Unless you're extremely lucky, or you turn your life around this second, I don't think you'll be able to avoid either of those diseases.

Probably 98%. Replace your bad habits with good habits. When you're stressed go for a walk. Instead of rewarding yourself with food, buy yourself new smaller clothes. Don't go cold turkey, because you will just set yourself for failure. Do it little by little. It took you along time to get there, it'll take along time to get out. Good Luck Prayer also helps a lot.

You or whoever this is about has a very high chance. My brother worked at a Hospital for Cancer as an intern and he told me all about it. Since you smoked cigarettes since you were a kid, you are at high risk of getting lung cancer. More people get lung cancer than any other kind of cancer combined. It's a little late to stop smoking, but work on your diet. I know it is hard to lose weight now that you are on bad eating habits, but heart disease is at high risk as well, so lose lots of weight, not by starving or throwing up, but by the right way, which is to eat healthy and excericise. It's 50% nutrition and 50% excericise.

You might have a 25% chance of developing either, just remember those are some factors that make your chances higher, but there are still others, like sex, race and age, and hereditary predisposition as well. Children of parents with heart disease are more likely to develop it themselves. African Americans have more severe high blood pressure than Caucasians and a higher risk of heart disease. Heart disease risk is also higher among Mexican Americans, American Indians, native Hawaiians and some Asian Americans. This is partly due to higher rates of obesity and diabetes. Most people with a strong family history of heart disease have one or more other risk factors. BUT it's never too late to start changing at least some of those risk factors, like taking charge of your diet and stopping smoking. Also, walking can undo some of the prior damage done to the circulatory system. When you walk, new cappilary vessels start forming and your heart gets stronger. Yes, just by walking.
