if someone smoked one cigarette a day for 30 days what would the risk of lung cancer be?

Question

would the body be able to repair its self? what damages could occur?

Answer 1

The risk of lung cancer is generally many years down the road. I'm guessing it is still quite dangerous. If you are a non-smoker don't start. The addiction will control you before you know it. You will end up smoking much more than 1 a day anyway.

Answer 2

Very Very High chance of cancer if you don't stop, quit now!

I smoked for 35 years and I quit in December without any problem but then I am a hypnotherapist and I am therefore atypical in that unlike most people, I have an instruction book for my mind! It is a shame I didn't use it a little sooner! It was easy for me to stop since I just discarded all the lies about being addicted put out by the tobacco companies and made up my own mind about that addiction myth. Sure when I quit a little voice said you want a cigarette and I said to myself there goes that confused little voice again giving me more false information from the skewed experiences in my memory banks and I had to remind myself to have another look for the fresh information that said I'd quit! Instead of succumbing to the little voice that said I needed a cigarette I just laughed at it, which by the way is exactly the same way I overcame the fear of blood tests, when I felt fear I laughed back at it and turned it in to a joke and it worked a treat.

My lungs will never recover I am way beyond 30 days but they won't get any worse and I feel better already! If it is only 30 days for you they will recover if you stop now. The link below might convince you to stop. 75 to 90 hours clears the nicotine from your lungs! I just worked out that at today's prices I spent £17500 on cigarettes I wonder how much that would have been worth if I had just invested it?

Answer 3

higher than if you just never did it at all
