What's the worst that could happen?

Question

I smoke one cigarette a day, yes i know it can kill me but so can a million other things, so whats the worst thing that could happen?

Answer 1

That you will think that there is nothing wrong about doing it. Nicotine is an addictive substance; you started with one and and now you are up to 7 a week. You do the math. Sucking smoke into your lungs will affect every aspect of your life, biologically and socially. Tobacco smoke affects your sense of smell and taste, making food and everything around you less enjoyable. Good health is more than just about living longer. It is not about quantity, it is about quality.

Answer 2

You'll eventually start smoking more. Nicotine is addictive.

Answer 3

you need to quit if you smoke you could ruin your whole life. you could get cancer or end up with a hole in your throat so you need to STOP!

Answer 4

You could damage the lining of your lungs. It doesn't sound that bad, but just go into the hospital wing that cares for people with lung cancer, emphysema or breathing problems. I guess one is not that bad, but why not gradually cut it out. Then you won't smell bad - like cigarettes.

Answer 5

Smoking one cigarette a day won't hurt you. I guess the worst thing that could happen is that you will start smoking 100 a day instead of one. That could cause some issues.

Enjoy your cigarette and don't worry about it.

Answer 6

I am just guessing but; you probably just started smoking and you will soon be having more than one a day and it will turn into an addiction and you'll eventually get lung cancer or be on oxygen for the rest of your life. stop now! I've seen too many people that have ended up this way.

Answer 7

The worst that could happen is that you get used to it and start smoking 2, then 3, then 4, and before you know it you'll be up to a pack a day, which is really bad.  And then you can poison all the people around you, your teeth will become stained.  You'll have cigarette breath, and you'll stink like cigarettes.  And after you are like that for a few years, you won't be able to run as far, your circulation will suck, and the cigarettes you are smoking is prematurely aging your skin.  The next thing you know, you have been smoking for 20 years and your risk for heart attack or stroke have majorly increased, as well as your chances of cancer.  Your healing abilities have also decreased due to your decreased circulation.

Other than that......

Answer 8

You could fall asleep while smoking it and light your couch on fire, engulfing you and your entire family in flames.

Or cancer.

Either way, cigarettes suck.
