Smoking: Is it smoking? Technically, yes. But the true harmfulness of smoking occurs with inhaling the smoke into your lungs over a chronic period of time. You will not speed the development of wrinkles from a SINGLE smoking event. But habitual use is bad for your skin, lungs, heart, and basically everything else. Hopefully you tried it, didn't like it, and won't ever do it again! Don't start!

Smoking: Smoking is a bad idea in general. It has many health risks. Don't worry about the 15 puffs for now.
