Just take a 15 year break every once in a while. ๐คทโโ๏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? ๐ค
There are other health effects than heart issues examined here - e.g. there's cancer, which occurs due to changes in the DNA of your cells, and that is a cumulative process (although e.g. outer skin layers replenish so in 15 years not the same cells, but I am not sure how long lung and other cells take to similarly replenish).
