Possibly: Cigarette smoking increases the risk of lung cancer. There is no "safe" amount. Life is full of choices, and if you smoke you inhale toxins which can harm you in many different ways. According to the CDC: " "People who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke."

Zero: Not even one cigarette a day is safe. Depending on your genetic makeup, you could be raising your risk of lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other cancers measurably.
