No. Studies show that smokers who start at a younger age smoke more and inhale more deeply. And, of course, the longer one smokes, the more the damage. According to one study, says WebMD news, "Early smokers were most at risk of dying from smoking-related causes. Current smokers who started at age 17 or younger had a significantly higher risk of dying than smokers who took up the habit after age 25. This was especially true for respiratory disease, lung cancer, and other smoking-related cancers."
