Varies...: The amount of smoking needed to produce the symptoms described varies but, in general, the more cigarettes you smoke, the faster the time to development of diseases like COPD and various cancers. The best way to avoid these diseases and limit adverse symptoms is smoking cessation. Your doctor can help with this goal!
