It is a big deal not only health wise but money wise as well. Smoking cigarettes is like taking money and burning it while increasing your chance of getting lung cancer. Since you don't smoke too much, it would be best for you, your family and friends if you can quit. You will save money and in the long run have a better health.

Dear 5646,
You're gonna get a lot of answers now! Let's put things in perspective, first of all, smoking is so 90's! Get with it. This is the day of pilates, sushi and fiber! No room for smoking in this heathy conscious way of life.
Smoking is being banned more and more. It's just not cool anymore. Besides, the irreparable harm you're doing to your heart, lungs, skin, teeth and *turning away* breath, it's way passed the time to quit. Whether it's 2 or 22, it's going to do some damage.
You're young. These ARE the best years of your life. Stop smoking and start living! I need to have 2 lungs AND a heart transplant, but I know I'll never make it. I have COPD and PPH, both horrible lung diseases. I have been using supplemental oxygen since June 2000, I've had two very damaging heart attacks and I'm now bedridden, unable to do anything for myself. I'm under Hospice care and am expected to die sooner than I'd like to say.
If any of these are reasons to enough to quit, then quit. If you don't, well, get your affairs in order, stuff happens really fast.
Make the right choice for you!
Regards,
Rayleneâ¥

Smoking is bad in any way, shape or form, and all though the cancer effects of cigarettes have been widely publicized the effect on cardiovascular structures and on male reproductive have not been that massive.
It is very good that instead of smoking 1 pack a day you are smoking 2 cigarettes, don't get me wrong, the problem is when you start increasing that amount.
If you quit smoking before you're 30 you have a less than 1% of developing lung cancer caused by cigarette, if you quit before 50 you have a less than 50% of having that same cancer. So for your sake try quitting

2 cigarettes will become 20 in a few years. Stop while you can. TRUST ME!!! I started out with 5-6 sticks a day a few years ago. I am up to 1/2 a pack a day now. And believe me, I have to fight the urge not to light up all the time. I have tried quitting so many times and I always fail. In fact, yesterday I was suppose to quit but I ended up buying another pack.

well, its bad for you any way you cut it, one a day, one every two days, whatever, because as any heavy smoker will tell you, thats how they got to smoking two packs a day. No body ever just jumps right in to smoking two packs a day. It starts with the rebellious/wanting to fit in first cigarette, then a few weeks later the next one, pretty soon its every weekend, then its one every couple of days, then its TWO A DAY, then shortly after its a pack at parties and two a day inbetween parties, then its a pack a day, then its two packs a day, then cancer and so forth.
Thats why they call it an addiction, you don't plan on getting addicted, you just wake up one day and realize that you are addicted. Quit while you can.
Good luck

Smoking is bad no matter how many you smoke, and just two a day will increase over the years. My husband started smoking when he was 12 and it was only once or twice a week, now he's 24 and a pack and a half a day smoker

Pretty soon two cigarettes a day turns into two packs a day. I'm 54 and up to more than I can afford.

Very harmful. The toxic waste from 1 cigarrette stays inside your body for over 6 weeks. One!!!!

I do not know, I do not think that they have really studied that. If they have they are not going to tell us. But my vote is that you stop smoking, before it becomes a habit I wish that I had never started and so do most of the people I know.

Why would you only smoke two? You're probably not addicted if you only have two so its your best bet to just quite completely. If you're doing it because of the social outlet of smoking realize that its not worth the toxins. Plus smokers spend most their cash on cigs. Who wants to hangout with people like that anyways? :P
