I don't think this is a fair comparison, on one side it's a whole pack of cigarettes per day and on the other one glass of wine.

How about we compare two bottles of wine every day with a whole pack of cigarettes. I think that's comparable and both would be terrible for you.

I hate smoking, I had a really hard time quitting 8 years ago and in general I dislike being in a room where people are smoking.

However my grandmother smoked 1 cigarette every day with her morning coffee after breakfast her whole life and it did her no harm whatsoever. I think with most substances moderation is always an important factor.

How many cigarette smokers have the willpower to only smoke one a day?
