(no my OC, I am attempting to help spread this that I saw first on https://programming.dev/post/33666663 because I think it helps to know that it is not too late to make changes even for major things like smoking and our health!)

Just take a 15 year break every once in a while. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Actuslly, kinda curious what the risks are for someone who smokes less than 1 or 2 packs a day, because those were the only kinds of smokers I ever remember being talked about when it came to all the horrific health issues. If you only smoke 1 cigarette every 15 years, would it even take a toll on you? ๐Ÿค”

One cig every 15 years would be less than all the second hand smoking and air particles you digest.

But "less than 1 or 2 packs a day" sounds it will definitely lead to health issues. I'd say 1 cig a day would be acceptable and probably without serious health issues.

Literally, yes. However you so not use this wording in natural language.
