A member asked:

Im 18 not a chain smoker, smoking 2-4 cigs a day.. will i be dead earlier? i feel really sad but smoking is making me a bit feel better.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Family practice : There really isn't anything good about smoking. You are a high risk for COPD , lung ca , heart dz, and stroke. You don't get these over night but will get them sooner if you don't stop.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
