to quit smoking your friend needs to have a strong will power to quit he can try nicotine chewing gum to help.there is no safe levels of smoking per day. even passive smoking is dangerous and can increase the cancer risk by 30 times, so no active smoking or passive smoking is desirable. it needs a lot of support from family and friends for him to quit smoking

Any amount though not cancer is not good for cardiac health, gastric issues, etc. Hence it should be as minimal as possible. 2 is fine per day if he does not have BP issue.
