Question

ISometimes go a week without smoking and I never smoke on the weekend’s bcuz I'm around my family but I get these sudden cravings and I smoke. Am I consider a smoker?? and is this much smoking damaging to my skin??

Answer 1

you are a part time smoker.but it's still bad for you. so quit it!

Answer 2

I'd have to say that you are not in imminent danger cause you smoke 2 cigarettes a day. I choose not to smoke any - just cause I don't want any substance to have control over my body + bad breath and yellow teeth can come with time. Of course, you're doing a lot better than my best friend who smokes 2 packs. I don't think your skin is getting severely damaged, though, you don't smoke that much.

Are you a smoker, though? I'd have to say yes. The cravings that make you smoke are definitely a sign of addiction. I would suggest: quit while you're only on 2 a day. It will be a lot harder the more you smoke. Bottom line is that while your're not going to keel over and die anytime soon, I'd be scared about these cravings. Personally that would scare me, an external substance having so much influence over my body. I suggest quit while you're ahead. Smoking is definitely not the best thing to spend your time or money on anyway. The people I know try and use it to escape their problems, and it inturn becomes a major problem.

Answer 3

That is... to me because I smoke a cigarette once a year maybe ! Smoking is a unhealthy habit ! If you like smoking than that is ok because smoking is addictive ! If you smoke more cigarettes you become more poor and will never get that vehicle of your dreams. I would say that 2 cigarettes a day is good. I think you are considered a part time smoker !

Answer 4

Probably not bad for your skin, but definitely damaging to your lungs. Cigarette smoke is full of toxins, ie, poisons. Burn a cigarette in a jar sometime, look at all the gunk on the jar sides, and imagine that in your lungs, which are supposed to be breathing *clean* air.

Also, if you get cravings, that means you're becoming addicted to the nicotine. You'll start smoking more and more if you don't stop as soon as possible.

Answer 5

Well, two cigarettes a day isn't THAT much in my opinion, but then poison is poison and it kills u eventually, so try to quit. O yeah, since u do smoke regularly, u will be considered a smoker but not a chain smoker. I know it's bad for teeth and health in general, but I'm not sure about skin.

Answer 6

If you smoke then you smoke, and yes you are a smoker if you have cravings! Don't smoke, my dad is a smoker and his teeth are awful, when he talks too me I feel like barfing... Best way is stop smoking! My dad now smokes a pack a day!

Answer 7

If smoking wasn't bad,you wouldn't have asked this question in first place.
Yes cigarette contains toxins that even in smallest quantity can damage your skin.It leads to free radicals that deteriorate your skin cells.
You may smoke less but it will only increase gradually as time pass.
Treat your body like temple and least you could do is avoid further harm.

Answer 8

Social smoker. But any smoking is bad for you. So is the second hand smoke so if you want to smoke go ahead. But don't complain when you get cancer.

Answer 9

Any cigarettes a day are too much! It is still very bad for you. If you only smoke 2 a day, it doesn't sound like you are addicted, so you should really just give it up and find a habit less destructive to your health!!

Answer 10

Yes, you are a smoker, yes it is bad for your skin and even bigger than that is is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad for your health. Got some gum and crew that when you have a craving!!!

Answer 11

You smoke you choke. Any smoking at all is bad for you !!
DON'T DO IT!! Why would you want to hurt your health by doing something so awful?
