If you’re really interested, some information can be found at "<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/1167315-risks-occasional-smoking.html">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/1167315-risks-occasional-smoking.html</a>" at the bottom of the first page of the thread.</p>
<p>That being said, you should not smoke to achieve health benefits. I don’t think any reasonable person would (seriously, without tongue in cheek) say that smoking is a healthy activity. The human body is, from what I understand, a very complex system, and dogmatic claims such as “X has only negative effects” are bound to be wrong in at least one instance.</p>
