1 Cigarette a day

[neel_basu]

I smoke just 1 Cigarette a day , not more than that.
so how much harmfull it is ?

[Jizi]

Wow I've never heard of anyone just having 1 cigarette a day. I'd say just dont even bother, eventually you'll end up smoking more than 1 cigarette a day sooner or later. I believe smoking cigarettes is harmful no matter how many you smoke a day.

It is not completly harmless I'm sure. The worst thing is it keeps the addcition going.

Hmm.
This is a step of mine in the way of stopping smokking.

previously I used to smoke a lot. now I've minimized it to exact 1/day. never more than that strictly.

However smoking just one is not much harmfull. Is it ??

[Jizi]

Cutting down to 1 is a great thing, i'm sure its not as harmfull as smoking a pack a day, i'm no expert, I just think smoking isnt good for you no matter how you look at it, but hey if you cut down to 1 than good job.

Jizi & Mr. Lucky are correct........In order to quit, you must stop all together. You may think you are capable of stopping this way, but because you are a smoker, then when something happens that sets you off, you will most likely return to smoking more.
If you can go with 1 of a half one per day, then you absolutely do not need any at all so just don't smoke period, that's the best and only way to quit.
Good luck!

Sure it's way better than 1 pack per day but you need (and want?) to get to 0 smokes a day. There's an older lady from church who calls me and she does the same thing, 1 per day in a few puffs at a time. She really needs to quit 100% as she has COPD.  I smoked for 38 years and it killed both my parents. I didn't have COPD or cancer yet but it may have happened soon.all the best

Hmm sometime I think I should leave. But acctually I dont have any addiction on the point of smoking. My addiction is to go to a relaxing place and sit quite alone and smoke. the place and the climate etc.. is my addiction smoking is auxaliry. even If I have 1 Cigerate on my hand Its ok I dont need to smoke.

To test wheather the above statement is true or not I justspent 3 days without Cigerate. just by going to same place. and 4 days just by liting it on mouth and then holding it on my hand and I found that last 4 days was as relaxing as I smoked today.

LOL Its a rather Psycological problem. (But this problem doesn't harm at all rather it gives me the same relaxation of smoking).

If I could get away with smoking only one a day (which I can't), I still don't think I would.  Why suffer through the horrid taste and stink up my breath, skin, and clothes once each day??  Makes absolutely no sense to me.

1 a day will still add up to hundreds of cigarettes over time. I think the effect is the same, only slower.. Here's a video that I got from youtube. It shows how much tar will end up in your lungs after 2 boxes of cigarettes.. If you're smoking 1 a day, you will have finished 2 boxes of cigarettes after 400 days. Since when have you been smoking 1 a day?

Watch it there, I got so scared since I know I've smoked way more than 2 boxes... But I quit already and going strong : )
