Walking Pneumonia

I get walking pneumonia at least 3 times a year and it has been like that for at least 8 years now. Every time I get it, it gets worse and worse and lasts longer and longer and I'm scared that it may be lung cancer or something. I smoke cigarettes, and have been around heavy amounts of secondhand smoke since I was a young child. Is the frequency that I get walking pneumonia normal or should I consult a professional?
