How bad is one cigarette on average a day? Besides the continuing addiction? I have lots of friends who smoke, and what would happen if I bummed one when I'm in a particularly bad mood?

One will become two then 4 and there you are at a pack a day needing to quit again which is where I am, quiting again this Wednesday. Darn it.

Bad idea - even a single cigarette a day is one too many if you ask me.
I know it's hard, but think about it realistically: You're burning a whole bunch of toxic crap and breathing it into your body like it's supposed to be fresh air.
Even one cigarette is horrible for you - whether it calms your nerves or not, the downside to smoking cigarettes (healthwise, even beyond stinking and having awful breath) is far greater than that very small upside.
Try to resist it, and good luck.

NO.I'm a smoker and I don't even think I'm that bad cause I smoke mostly on the weekends but just thinking about it,being attached to a stupid habit of breathing smoke in & out that doesn't do any good for me,makes me regret starting in the first place.Do yourself a favor, don't do it, that once a day could turn into a pack a day and so on.

the cig will make you feel a bit light headed. it will not make your bad mood go away. every time you smoke you will get a little light headed until the light headed feeling is a feeling you have all day every day. after that you will feel uncomfortable with out that feeling. that is when you know you are truly addicted.
Same as heroin, just legal.
DONT START IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY.
Ive been smoking since 1989. I cant stop. soon Ill be dead.

Do you already smoke? Why would you bum one just because you were in a bad mood? that's silly. I don't particularly know the effects of just ONE but I do know they are extremely addicting and I'm not sure why a nonsmoker would ever pick one up.

One leads to another, then twenty years later you're left wishing you never had that one you thought would be OK. Dont do it, i have made that same mistake and now I'm smoking over a pack a day and cant get off the nasty things. I never regretted anything so much.

it's bad it's worse to stand around and breath it in, i was a smoker for 11 years and to this day when someone smokes I find myself breathing deeply by them but I dare not smoke one or I'll be doomed.

Have you ever seen the lungs from a smoker? Black and brittle... like charcoal. Save a life ... yours. Don't even start. Ever kissed a smoker? Yuch!

You can have just one if you want (that's your call), but you still may get lung cancer. Lots of cigar smokers get lung and throat cancer and they aren't out there smoking cigars all day long.

One cigarette supposedly takes five minutes off your natural lifespan.
