I smoke 2-3 cigarettes a day, how will this affect me later in life?

Is this considered "very light" smoking? (I'm aware many people smoke a pack or more a day) I'm 20 years old and have smoked since I was 15 but have always only smoked 2-3 a day. Obviously, I'm still at risk for lung cancer and things like that but exactly how harmful is it to only smoke a few a day? And how will it affect me when I'm older?

The main harm is how bad you smell. It makes people around you feel sick when you come close after smoking.

I can't stand the smell, and most people find it disgusting.

It limits your friends to trashy people, since they are the only people who smoke.

its estimated that one smoke cuts 5 seconds of your life

You also have a 60+ % chance of getting a type of lung disease like cancer or bronchitis or etc.

Any smoking is harmful, and secondhand is too! Your lungs are still black I bet, just try to stop LOL
