A member asked:
I want to know that one cigarette in a day and drink once a week can harm...?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes & maybe: Even just one cigarette a day can be harmful as it causes immediate decrease in blood flow. That doesn't consider all cancer causing stuff you inhale each day. Drinking once a week depends upon how much you drink. You can't average your alcohol. In other words, drinking nothing over work/study week so that you can drink 7 beers etc on friday isn't good for brain (study shows this shrinks brain).
