My old country doc told me if i smoked 10 cigs a day or less it was ok? is this true? it's about what i smoke. but would like to stop, but i enjoy it?

No it is NOT OK: Cigarette smoking(any amount) not only cause cancer but also heart disease and damage your lungs. So i would advise that you cut it out slowly and stop smoking permanently. Otherwise you will pay a heavy price for the little pleasure that you are after now. It is the worst habit there is on earth!
