There is no pat answer to this question. Every person is different in what their body will tolerate. This has been a tobacco co. promotion point because some celebrates like George Burns smoked cigars all his life and lived to be 100. On the other hand, John Wane was taken all too soon and was very public about tobacco being the cause.
