Exposure to carcinogens, for example, cigarette byproducts, increases your chances of developing lung cancer. There is no threshhold such as less than 5 cigarettes per day won't cause cancer, but 5 per day will. If you smoke you increase your chance of developing cancer. Smoking also causes lung disease and heart disease and the list goes on. It's actually quite impressive the range of damage done by smoking. So the answer to your question is at the very least it sure does increase the odds of a negative outcome.

wow bob what a jerk...You obviously have never been addicted to smoking so back off. Yes any type of smoking can cause cancer and so can not smoking at all.. If you are going to smoke the best thin you can do is find the cigarette with the least tar believe it or not. That is what my doctor told me. He actually said it is better for me to fin a low tar cig and smoke a few a day than it would if i quite smoking all to gather while i was pregnant. The stress and weight gain would harm the baby even more. May i suggest Carlton....you will feel like you are smoking nothing at first but you will get used to it soon. bye the contents you would have to smoke 10 Carlton cigs to = 1 reg strength cig. Prego or not this is a smart move to make. Althought quiting altogether would be the best, i do understand how this may be very difficult as i am a smoker who too wishes they may have the strength and emotional stability to quit as well.

If you only smoke 4 cigarettes a day you can quit. I smoked 2 and 1/2 packs a day when I quit. That was 39 years ago and was one of the best decisions I ever made. It was very hard to do, but worth it. Even 1 cigarette a day will increase your risk factors of getting lung cancer and other serious health problems.

I mean right now, they're saying that second hand smoke is nearly as bad so who knows. I think a whole lot depends on a person's own genetics and body chemistry rather than how many or if you smoke.

It depends on who you ask. I mean right now, they're saying that second hand smoke is nearly as bad so who knows. I think a whole lot depends on a person's own genetics and body chemistry rather than how many or if you smoke.

Lax
Everthing depends on genes is what my doctor says. If you have good genes very little can harm you - but smoking is very dangerous esp if you are pregnant. Can harm the growth of your child
