I SMOKE JUST A FEW CIGARETTES A DAY OR NOT EVERY DAY. ARE MY HEALTH RISKS LOWER THAN THOSE OF A PERSON WHO SMOKES MORE OFTEN?

Although people who smoke casually may not experience nicotine addiction the same way as people who smoke more regularly, the health risks associated with smoking are still present. With each puff you ingest dangerous substances, many of which are toxic or cause cancer. Social smokers may eventually become regular, daily smokers if their patterns of smoking continue. No matter how often you smoke, the best thing to do for your health is to quit.
