Is Smoking One Packet of Cigarettes a Month Bad?
 

Is it?

I mean can you still become one of those people like my Grandmother who can't stop smoking?

Or does it still increase your risk of Lung Cancer as much as it would if you smoked packet after packet?

In the case of smoking AT ALL........... regardless of amount.

Why do you think cigarette packs come with a warning Patrick - with pictures in case the words aren't clear enough?

As a smoker myself since the age of 16, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

If you were to become a smoker, a packet per month isn't as bad as a packet per week or 2 per week. And yes, it still does increase the risk of cancer (and not only lung but throat, tongue etc...)

You know, I've yet to see any Health organisation advocate that - at all - regardless of amount.

I smoke. Have done for years. Am fully aware of how bad it is but that's my choice.

To come onto a forum and declare that ANY smoking 'is not that bad' is sheer ignorance and idiocy, not to mention, complete and utter rubbish.

You said 1 pack a day is, and I quote, "fine". Bit of a wrong choice of words.

Really? can you explain your comment "No, it's not that bad". It's either bad for you or it's not. clearly you aren't quite sure.

as for what the point of this thread is? I didn't start the thread - better ask Patrick. :p

LOL. You know, I did laugh and thought the same thing!!! :blush:

Stephanie 09-04-2011 04:48 PM

yeah. but if you get addicted it won't just be one pack a month that you're smoking.

Princess 09-04-2011 04:52 PM

Smoking at all is bad.

Completely moot point. The thread isn't about passive smoking.

It's about smoking cigarettes - you know, actually lighting up, inhaling and smoking.

Oh I read Patrick's opening post.

are you saying then that his grandmother is 'not normal'???

I am simply asking what you mean by your very own wording, not normal. Smoking is not abnormal. It's a very normal thing that many people do.

Smoking a pack a month is vastly inconsequential to your health I imagine. That's like what ... two thirds of a cigarette a day? Your lungs would be clearing back out the smoke far faster than you could possibly clog it up at that rate. In pure statistical terms your risk of cancer would go up, sure, but 0.66% of a cigarette a day ... seriously?

Problem is very few people can stick to one fag a day. It's incredibly difficult. This is all common knowledge surely. And TiBB is really not the best place to use as a compass to gauge what crazy directions you could next take your teenage life.
