I've looked into this fairly extensively in the past, but dreadfully anti-smoking organizations vomit their "truth" over everything obscure the facts and making it difficult for people such as yourself to find out correct information on the subject.
fact of the matter is, one cigarette can be the guy that triggers the mutations in your cell that lead to cancer.

The fact of the matter is, that isn't tremendously likely.

COPD is potentially one of the main bitches of living a smoker's life, and that takes more or less 20 pack years to develop if it does.

Something to keep in mind though, is that those are statistics, based stale of the average features of a population. You are an individual. You have genetic predispositions one way or the other that either predispose you to, or support protect you against certain illnesses. Take that into consideration.
alize I didn't answer your question of "Out of how many smokers in actuality get lethal or critical illnesses" because I don't think it is the right one to ask. There are A LOT of illnesses out in attendance related to smoking, so you can't just boil things down to that. The question you should be asking, is how can I organize a reasonably healthy life and still smoke.

My answer to that is to say to just monitor your smoking and keep it at a level that you are comfortable near considering the health history of family members that smoke. Source(s): Just look around for yourself on the internet. The push button thing is to add the term "pack years" to your search, because you are much more likely to reach medical sites, and not bs anti-smoking sites.
