Brief Answer:
Better to avoid any smokes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Many clinical studies have found that chronic smoking are harmful to our body and smoking occasionally do not harm. But from my clinical experience, I feel it is better to never smoke. As I have observed many of my patients started with a single smoke or occasional smoke and turned into a chronic smoker struggling to quit smoking.

It would be better to never smoke.

Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you.

Regards.
