Comment on CVS Caremark pharmacies to halt tobacco salesparent

Comments

Actually, light smoking is almost as harmful as heavier smoking. Going from zero to one cigarettes is much worse than going from one to two.

Do you have a source for that?

You can find more with a simple search on Google. I used, "light smoking, dangerous".

1-4 cigarettes does not equal 1 cigarette per day.

I really don't care. If you want to believe that you're not hurting yourself by smoking a cigarette a day, that's your prerogative. Ask any doctor and they'll tell you different though.
