Is it 100% guarenteed that your health will suffer if you start smoking at a very young age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: What do you mean..Health will suffer. Some people live to be in their 90s or further and have smoked their entire lives. Nothing is 100% when it comes to risks. I can say with some certainty, however, it is a poor bet to continue to use tobacco. Some people who are highly dependent on nicotine will live longer and be healthier if they continue to use nicotine after stopping all tobacco use.
