I wouldn't be surprised if 5 cigarettes a day mightn't have some salubrious effects long-term, depending on the personality of the smoker / imaginary demons defused and the like. We'll never get believable stats on that, of course. Clearly - few.. smoke only 5/day. (I've met a very-few who smoke only one after dinner, \ufffd l\ufffd cigar.)

Roughly 93 years of smoking gives a quarter of a pack a day or 5 cigarettes a day. She wasn't much of a smoker. ;-) Cheers, Scott. (Who assumes the 170,000 figure was arrived at by calculation, not by her counting them every day.)
