I say give it a try and if you feel it is negatively impacting your health, then it's time to re-evaluate your smoking habits. Otherwise I agree with Icehog. Enjoying life is sometimes the best medicine.

Far from a doctor here as well, but hold that quote dear to my heart, and agree with those guys.

Although it is probably bad advice and will deservedly get me chastised, I say it's the quality of life, not the quantity. Then again, I've been pushing my luck for 40 something years.....
