Smoking one cigarette a day -- how bad is it really?

So I recently started smoking, just one a day when my friends would go out at lunchtime or break or whatever. Just wondering if anyone here would know, roughly how harmful it is being to me.

Please refrain from saying stuff like "one a day? What's the point!" or "Quit now or you will get addicted" because, frankly my dear(s), I don't give a damn.

Obviously you give a damn if you made a thread asking how harmful smoking is.

well it can't be good

There is no safe amount of smoking you can do. But it's your life, you can live it however you want. Just be sure to respect other's choice of not smoking or being around you when you smoke.

One a day probably won't kill you, but you will eventually become addicted and start smoking more and then it will become significantly more dangerous. Seriously though, don't smoke, my grandfather already died from it and my father has lung cancer because of it. You don't want to go down that road.

I say don't even bother if you're going to smoke cigarettes, smoke the good stuff like meth. Go big or go home.Fightingfan

For real. I'm thinking of smoking meth for the cosmetic benefits. It really does wonders for your skin and hair.

Probably a little worse than second hand smoke...

Though, it will more than likely manifest into smoking more (as once your system is addicted to nicotine, you will need it to function properly, and will thus smoke more...)

Really depends on your body personally... I have seen people develop lung cancer from being around second hand smoke within months... I have also seen people smoke a pack a day for 30 years and not have lung cancer...

Hahahaha. Ok. trolled. nearly as bad as four chan

"Just one a day." - That phrase has probably killed more people than any other, and got me hooked back in the day. Don't do it.

Hahahaha. Ok. trolled. nearly as bad as yes

We are not heathens!

I have an uncle who is in the hospital dying from throat cancer right now, so smoking is very bad for you.
