You can get cancer just by smoking.

You have cancer cells in your body pretty much from birth - The problem comes when they form an abnormal growth which is what is generally referred to as a 'cancer'.

Certain things can encourage this change in the cells to start growing abnormally, chemicals in cigarette smoke are an obvious example, injuries can sometimes spark it off too.

Hope this helps.

Why can't cancer cells get cancer?

Cancer cells are already cancer, it is redundant for a cancer cell to get cancer, however, it is true that cancer cells can die, for various reasons. The reason why cancer is so dangerous to the body is that cancer receives all the same support that healthy cells receive, and is not attacked by the immune system. The body takes care of its own cells; the blood supplies all the needs of cellular metabolism. That makes it easy for cells to survive. So even though cancer cells are abnormal and dysfunctional, they can usually survive because it is easy for them to do so.
