No!: Every single cigarette cuts out another 11 minutes of your life. A single smoke a day increases the stiffness of blood vessels in young people a whopping 24%. If you smoke at all you are at increased risk of cancer and heart disease. Darn those companies that sneak in sugar enhancers, extra nicotine, & other additives just to hook you harder than heroin--should you even buy their product anyway?

Yes: every cigarette you smoke hurts you and shortens you life Quit now while you only smoke 1 a day. 2nd hand smoke is also dangerous.
