A member asked:
Is it ok to still have an occasional cigarette?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Still unhealthy: You are asking a question similar to "is it ok to ingest a little bottle of poison versus a large bottle of poison?". Cigarettes contain toxic materials and are not healthy to smoke.

Nope.: Any amount of cigarette smoking is considered dangerous. And each cigarette shortens your life by seven minutes.
