A member asked:
Is smoking normally (about 1 pack a week) bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Smoking cigarettes in ANY quantity is bad. While we think that the more a person smokes, the more likely they are to get lung cancer, we know that NONE is the only way to prevent it. Smoking contributes to many health conditions including chronic lung disease, cancer, heart disease, blood clots and many more.
