I’ve smoked around 50 cigarettes over the past month. I don’t usually smoke. Will my lungs be okay?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

You don't "usually" smoke. To me, that means that you occasionally smoke. If you have smoked occasionally for 10 years, then your lungs already have taken a beating. Smoking 50 cigarettes in 30 days will not make your lungs worse than they are but if you stop smoking now at age 24 and don't smoke ever again till you are on your dying bed, then your lungs may be OK.

I did read once somewhere that every cigarette you smokes costs you 6 minutes of your life. Do the math and see by yourself.

The passive smoking that you are exposed day in and day out is probably just as harmful to your health.

Thank you for the MHO.

That’s pretty bad. You likely will permanently damage your lungs and might die prematurely because if you continue this. I’d seek professional help

[DryGermanGuy]

Uhm... the crucial part is missing: Have you stopped smoking?

[OneViewpoint]

You've done permanent damage. You're gonna die.

Some people smoke 50 a day. I think you will be fine.

[leahzrc]

you are fine but if you do it for 50 years it may start to hurt

[AngryCarl2]

You'll die if you smoke.

You'll die if you don't smoke.

Hard to say
