Answer #1

u cant really know to be honest, I know some one who, for just one summer of her life smoked and years later she found a tumor between her toes. the doctors tested it and it was composed of lung cancer cells, her breathing wasn’t affected, but she did nearly died. I know it seems strange and farfetched, but its true (and I dont mean to get all preachy about smoking, I smoke to, just thought you should know about this strange type of lung cancer, it kinda opened my eyes when I heard about it)

Answer #2

Hard to say exactly but every cigarette has a negative effect on the lungs. So for each cigarette you smoke, the risk of getting cancer and other strange deseases grows a little. But I guess the effects like bad skin, weaker stamina and weakened immune system takes some time to develop.

Answer #3

Seriously? You’re asking for the impossible. This depends on about a 1000 factors. No one knows what it will do or how long it will take.

Answer #4

It depends. I smoke about 5 a day, and perform physically perfectly fine. Though, who knows, in 20 years I could be hooked up to a breathing machine. It depends on your routine, and how your body reacts.

Answer #5

THE RESEARCH SHOWS ON AVERAGE IT TAKES ABOUT THREE TO FOUR YEARS TO SHOW ITS EFFECT.(SMOKING 5-6 CIGGS A DAY)
