Is Smoking 5 Cigarettes a Day Dangerous?

I used to smoke a lot. Think chain smoking two packs a day. I cut back a lot since then and I am on the occasional cigarette here and there. I would put an estimate on under 5 a day, but never more than 5. I want to know if this is relatively safe and if the health risks are quite as serious at this level. Please leave your emotional and scientific jargon at the door. I'm not asking for your opinion on if you like smoking or how much it hurts you because I am well informed of the effects of smoking. I want to know just how detrimental the occasional cigarette is.

Suggestion:

smoking causes cancer and emphysema…i should know…i have both
