Link: Is casual smoking safe? Not on your life.
Dr Charl Els, the Alberta Director for Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada, lists some of the many health risks associated with smoking cigarettes: lung cancer, emphysema, strokes and heart attacks. You may think you're excluded from these risks if you only smoke every now and then - at parties, or during particularly stressful times - but that's not the case. "Casual smoking is associated with the same hazards as what regular smoking is. There is no evidence suggesting any safe level of exposure to smoking," Els said.
