And Dee has a point with the no exercising. If you're doing it incorrectly, you can really screw things up.
Do insurance agencies ask if you exercise when you join? Do they provide stop exercising programs? She has no point.

One to four cigarettes a day triples a smoker's risk of dying from heart disease and lung cancer, with women more likely to be affected by the habit.

The study also quashes the notion that 'light' smokers escape the serious health problems faced by heavier smokers.
