A member asked:
What amount damage would 1 cigerette do to your lungs + how much tar would it add?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Negligible: I don't think one cigarette will cause you any problems. I certainly wouldn't start smoking if you don't already and if you do smoke, I would encourage you to quit.
