No, but think about how much 2nd hand smoke you take in. I am sure everyone has a little tar in their lungs.

one puff? no. not at all... however, if you have been around anyone who does smoke.. then you probably do have a noticable amount of tar build up in your lungs.. it comes second hand which is worse then first hand smoke.. you know that one puff you talking about.. understand?

No. You will get more tar in your lungs being around smokers than just taking a puff.

Just one puff will not put a noticeable amount of tar in your lungs, but if you are exposed to 2Nd hand smoke all the time I would be concerned . but get this if your father smokes and he quits now.
20 min. Blood pressure and pulse return to normal
8 hrs Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in blood reduce by half. Oxygen levels return to normal.
24 hrs Carbon monoxide will be eliminated from the body. Lungs start to clear out mucous and other smoking debris.
48 hrs There is no nicotine left in the body. Ability to taste and smell is greatly improved.
72 hrs Breathing becomes easier. Bronchial tubes begin to relax and energy levels increase.
2-12 weeks Circulation improves
3 - 9 months Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as lung functions are increased by up to 10%
5 yrs. Risk of heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker
10 yrs. Risk of lung cancer falls to about half that of a smoker. Risk of heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked.
Confidence Quitting smoking is a challenge. Once you have quit, you will know you can succeed at difficult takes and take more control of your life. Quitting helps you believe in yourself.
Fitness Smoking makes it harder to exercise and reduces the benefits to your body. Smokers have more coughs and colds than non-smokers and take longer to feel well again.
Money In a way, giving up smoking is like getting a pay rise, as much as 1,500.00 a year if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day.
Appearance Skin starved of oxygen by smoking becomes dry and grey.
Wrinkles around the eyes and mouth develop much earlier and the tar stains your teeth and fingers.
Children Children whose parents smoke are more likely to get pneumonia and bronchitis in their first year of life, to suffer from more frequent and more severe asthma attacks and to become regular smokers themselves.

No matter who it is for I'm sure that there has been enough second hand smoke that there would be trace amounts that would show up anyways... even if someone just took one little puff.

Despit the slapping I could get for this. I believe in a way, smoking could be healthy for younger children. Not actually smoking but the second hand smoke would strengthen their lungs and anti-bodies.

Not really. It should damage the lungs a little but not bad. Its almost like the second hand smoke. But im just going on my opinion.

No. However, smoking can lead to nicotine addiction, and worse, emotional addiction. Your lungs also have the ability to heal to a certain extent.

No, but for some people one puff is enough to get them addicted.

No but if you are around a smoker a lot you already have the build up.
