There is no safe level of smoking

But does that really apply to those of us who enjoy the odd sneaky cigarette on a fun-filled night out? Surely the stress-reducing smoke we occasionally allow ourselves at the end of a long hard week at work doesn’t have the same impact on our lungs as the non-stop cigarettes consumed by more committed smokers? More of us appear to be convincing ourselves that this is the case.
The National Tobacco Control Office run by the HSE monitors the reported number of cigarettes smoked in Ireland on a daily basis.
