The risk increases over how long you have been smoking for (continuous degradation) and how often you smoke. lung disease- This is fairly obvious because, if you have chronic or temporary lung disease your lung wall is going to be weaker. history of pneumothorax- if you have had pneumothorax in the past you have a risk of having it again, generally it occurs within 1 or 2 years of the pneumothorax especially if it was small and healed on its own.
