Exactly how bad are cigarettes?

[Shinobi Train]

So it's a given that smoking anything is not exactly healthy, and cigarettes are obviously bad. Now that I've stated this unnecessarily, what if we took this scenario. Say someone only smoked 1-2 packs a week, can that really be so bad? O_o

[Kages]

Idk. Real bad.

[Jellal Fernandes]

Yellow teeth bad. And lost of breath bad. Don't do it. I command you. Jk i can't
P.S Coughing all the time..I guess. ^^

Yes, but how quickly will two packs a week get you there?

Cigarettes are bad


they make you're teeth yellow.

[Ghost of Uchiha]

umm ... my dads boss smoke a pack daily ... he is a fat n has heart problems but strangely i never see him coughing

[d0kid0ki]

Well, it won't be as bad as smoking 1 or 2 packs a day, but still bad, obviously.
I think I remember hearing something like every cigarette you smoke is like taking seven minutes off of your life. I suppose that's without factors such as cancer and such.
So.... that's 140-280 minutes per week of your life theoretically gone.

math...........2 packs=40,therefore 40 cigarettes a week=40 steps a week closer to death

or rather just stay the f**k away from the stuff

[sasuke007]

take 1 puff, blow the smoke on a white piece of paper and see what it does to your lungs

Smoking is a mental pleasure. They say that smoking can easily turn into an addiction one cannot quit but this is untrue, Its mental, As for the health problems it does affect your breathing the more you smoke, Aswell as sexualdrive and heart. Smoking 2 packs a weak is not good but not that bad either... You should smoke 1 instead.

I smoke, But on very rare occasions...

ya this

It depends on the individual. Susceptibility to the negative health consequences of cigarettes is linked to a number of genetic variables. It would be possible for some people to smoke the described amount without any noticeable effect while others would surely die from it.

Ah, someone has posted...

It is a bit difficult to put exact numbers on things, plus you always get that granny that's a hundred years old she's been smoking 3 packs a day since she was fifteen. That broad will pop out on you if you're not careful. I can't get cancer though...I won't go to a doctor so it will never be diagnosed as cancer and therefore never proven as such...so I can't die of cancer. O_o I'm not joking though. ^_^

Alright...( -_-) I know it's bad...I'll never smoke more than 2 packs a week though, whenever I have too many in a day it messes with my throat so I keep it under a certain number anyway. Wait...that sounds like some old man's reason...I'm not that old yet...:faust:

[OrochimaruFan]

When I was 16 I smoked for about three months. I'd smoke about a pack every week or two. I quit because I felt so sick. I was better in a two weeks. I'll never go back. Waste of money. I don't understand how some people smoke for years and haven't keeled over yet. Some people will live for 80 years smoking a pack a day. Some people aren't that lucky.

[2big]

OK i have alot of experiences with this crap and most of these people have no idea what they are talking about. That being said 1-2 packs a week almost makes me think you just started but if that is really all you smoke u will be fine i garentee it. The people that have a problem are the ones that smoke 1-2 packs a day and have done it for 40 YEARS... so u will be fine just know that once you been smoking for a couple months you cant quit trust me its a fukking ***** but smoke some cannibis because it has been shown to reverse the process of tobacco products and i reccomend marlboro reds

[Space Cowboy]

Id just stick to the Mary J if i was you.

[unorthodox]

to me it depends on how long you do em

I agree with you. It's apparent that some people are more susceptible to any disease based on genetics.

I think you've partially answered your own question. Obviously limiting yourself to 1-2 packs a week instead of 1-2 packs a day is a significantly healthier option but that doesn't stop it from being unhealthy in general. You said you suffer from throat problems when you have too many in a short period of time. Even if you only smoke five cigarettes a day you will still be doing damage to yourself, just not enough to cause immediate discomfort. That doesn't mean it won't compound and end up biting you in the ass.

It's irresponsible to guarantee someone's health when discussing their smoking habits. Could you perhaps provide a source for your claim that cannabis reverses the effects of cigarettes? Such a discovery would surely be big news.

Gotta love that granny.
And it's good to limit yourself. Awesome that your body doesn't scream at you to smoke more than that or you have really good control!
, how old are you?

We have a winner! You had me at "crap" in the first sentence. I'm not sure about ganja reversing tobacco, but I've heard that it's not possible to get cancer if you use weed on a daily basis.

Id just stick to the Mary J if i was you.

That's just the thing, after smokin' of da' herb it makes me want a cig. O_o

[jonsnow1991]

My mother has been smoking since she was 14, now she's 58, and she doesn't have cancer or anything, just a cough. A friend of mine has smoked since she was 15 I believe, she's 22 now and has the same cough. It affects people differently, but either way, it's bad for you

Yeah i actually have friends who say the same thing. I wouldnt know because ive never tried cigarettes. I just never saw the point in them personally.
