I m a smoker, at least 3-5 cigg per day and go on smoke at age of 46. is it ok?

No: Unequivocally no! there is nothing ok about smoking, not even just a few cigarettes for only a few years. Any use of tobacco increases your risk of cancer & emphysema along w/heart disease & stroke. Don't do it! quit now before you become addicted!

If want to die young: This is perfectly ok if you want to die young or get emphysema. Smoking dramatically increases risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease & many types of cancer. It is probably the worst thing you can do for your health. Even 3-5 cigarettes/day is quite hazardous. As soon as you stop your health will start to improve.
