harmful? yes even one to two cigarettes a day exposes you to cancer-causing chemicals and tar. they are harmful to your respiratory tract / lungs as well as other body areas. if secondary smoke is known to be harmful than certainly first-hand smoke is worse. why don't you just quit now? what is this six-month crap? the sooner you stop the more likely your body will repair damage and hopefully restore your lungs to the non-smoking level that you had previously.
