A member asked:
How long will you have to smoke tobacco for it to have a negative effect on your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once: Every puff you take has a detrimental effect on your body. The longer you smoke, the more cumulative the effects are. Sometimes they are reversible, and many times they are not. If you are asking for a specific time frame, none can be given since each person reacts differently to the carcinogens and irritants.
