A member asked:
Obviously, no amount of smoking is ok, but from a statistical point of vew, how much smoking dramatically increases cancer risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Approximately 1 cigarette/day!!! Risk goes up proportionally thereafter. Lots of other considerations as well (genetic predisposition, air pollution, work environment,) but tobacco use is the one that is most amendable to fixing
