> I heard it takes 7 years for your lungs to heal. I also heard that 5 a day is not bad for your lungs. I even read a study where men can smoke, I can't remember the number but think it was 3-5 a day with no health risk. For women its less; something like 1-3.

A recient study says even one cig a day is a health risk. Really, there is no logic is thinking inhaling smoke and hoping there is no down side.
In the study, reduction of number is cigs/day did not yield very sig. healt improvements.If you smoke, you increase cancer risks, too.
