splick, if you noticed in my post i said, As you put it...I do in fact believe you with the point you are trying to get across. I'm sure that smokin on and off, for no matter how many years, won't really have a negative effect. But maybe I needed to be more clear when i said lots. I meant daily, or on a regular basis, when i said lots, not "on and off."

Depending on what kind of circumstances opentocomments is wondering about, which now that i think about it, is probably more along the lines of every once in a while, someone like splick is probably right. As well as it affects people differently i'm sure. But as far as what i meant, i would tend to believe an acredited doctor with years of extensive experience in this area.
