>>While it’s worth taking this seriously if true, 5-10 cigarettes a week is relatively little. A pack is 20 cigarettes and a heavy smoker might smoke a pack a day (sometimes more).

What if these 5-10 cigs a week are enough to screw a lot of things up? So after the first x cigs the damage doesn't increase according to amount smoked?
