Is it true that smoking less than 6 cigarettes a day is reasonably safe?

Hi. Im 45 and started smoking when i was 36! I used to smoke 5-7 ciggs daily but now i smoke maybe 3-5.. Any amount of smoking is horrible, but i always down play it to not feel guilty.. its SO HARD to quit. I want to so bad now..

i have been smoking since 2011 an average of 4 cigarettes a day, just recently i started getting back pains, is a sign that i might have cancer?

I smoke one cigarette per day maximum 2... usually pine lights, dunhill or marlboro but never more than one... i actually wanted to know the hazards so i am reading this forum... so reading all the comments, i guess i wont get addicted by this habit?

I used Chantix. It's not that bad... I will on occasion smoke a cigarette when I go out... but that's it. I can go all week without it no problem... the chantix helps but it's also all in your mind... all depends on how much it means to you to quit.

I'm 65 & have been smoking since I was 15 yrs old. I made my own & smoked about a pack a day (more in the past), but for over a yr I've had problems w/my legs & found out it was peripheral artery disease. My arteries are blocked & I'm having a hard time walking w/o pain. For the 1st time in my life, I'm trying to quit smoking. I tried the patch & it worked for 2 wks, but it was a constant struggle. 3 days ago, I got acupuncture. Since then, I've had 1-2 a day. It's SO frick'n hard!!! I have a very strong support system (Mom, kids, grandkids, siblings) but damn, it's hard!!!
