Unknown: You assume that there is a specific time that it takes. Every cigarette just increases your chances... For some people, it only takes a couple. For others, they smoke their entire lives and never have an illness. Your body, your health, your choice. Why take the chance?

Cancer risk!: There is no answer to that. The more you smoke the greater the risk. Some people are more sensitive to carcinogens than others. Why take the chance at all. It's russian roulette with your life!
