Will smoking too much kill me?
I've been mulling this over for a while now, and am unable to get all of the information I require to make an informed decision. My life hinges on my decision, and I'd appreciate some input.
The thing is: I know smoking is bad for my health, but can I die because of it?
...now for some context
Among the various "beneficial" (debatable) pickups in BioShock, is the pack of cigarettes. Grabbing one of these replenishes a small amount of EVE (magic, basically), but drains a small amount of the player's health.
So, if I managed to get myself almost dead, and then smoked up, would this health drain kill me?
On "Easy" and "Medium" difficulties, Jack will not die instantly from a fatal injury. Instead, his health will be reduced to one hit point, and will only die if he takes another hit in that state.

This means that, unless you're playing on Hard mode, a package of cigarettes is not enough to kill you.
To die you'd have to:
- Take more damage than you have health, thus sending you in this 1 HP almost dead state
- Smoke a cigarette at this point.
You can die by merely smoking only if you're playing in Hard mode.
