Dos Does your body suffer one mutation for every 15 cigarettes you smoke?

England's department of health has launched a new, very graphic anti-smoking TV ad (see the BBC STORY). Aside from the graphic imagery it makes the specific claim that a smoker will suffer one mutation fofor every 15 cigarettes smoked.

Is this claim credible? And, perhaps more importantly, is it significant given the background level of mutagenic chemicals and radiation we are exposed to?
