Smoking can kill! – Beware!

The process might take 10years or 30 years, but in the end, your lungs will at some point cough and die. There are just too many disadvantages associated with smoking. It is reported that about 400,000 people eventually die every year in the United States because of illnesses triggered by the fumes of ciggarettes. As much as 90% of lung cancer fatalities have been linked to a lifestyle of smoking. Smoking is also linked to the development of other forms of cancer such as cancer of the larynx,

LAWRENCE, Mass. — Angel Rivera’s life changed on Dec. 24, 2007, when he was rushed to the hospital. He had excruciating pain just below his stomach. He was diagnosed with fatty pancreas disease and diabetes. His blood glucose was measured at 994; it was supposed to be less than 100. Rivera was surprised. According to his medical record, the cause of the illness was alcoholism, but he said he had only drunk an alcoholic beverage once in his life and did not like it. “Just a sip with my fath

Smoking a Factor in Infant Death Disparities

NEW YORK – Poor women are more likely to smoke while pregnant and this helps explain some, but not all, of their greater risk of having a stillborn infant, new research shows. The findings are “encouraging, in a way,” because they suggest that helping women quit could help eliminate social and economic disparities in stillbirth and infant death, Dr. Ron Gray of the University of Oxford, the study’s lead author, told Reuters Health. Stillbirths and infant deaths are clearly linked to deprivat

Banning flavored cigarettes is good if it helps kids avoid the tobacco habit

Given the well-known health hazards associated with smoking, it should come as no surprise that most people who take up the habit do so at an early age. About 90 percent of smokers start before 18, and a significant number of those begin lighting up for the first time at 13 or under.

That’s why the Food and Drug Administration’s first act as a regulator of tobacco was a good one: banning sweet, fr

How do I Stop Smoking?

Once somebody decides that it’s time he/she stopped smoking, it is better to start sooner rather than later. However, how do you stop smoking, when you have been smoking for a very long time? Smoking is a very hard addiction to break as tobacco contains the compound called nicotine which is addictive to both the mind and body. Recent studies have shown that each time you smoke a cigarette, it costs you around five to twenty minutes of your life. Besides weakening the body, smoking leaves a p

Can’t Get A Second Date – Could Smoking Be An Issue?

You like her (or him) so much that you are sure you would like to go out again. In fact, you think this person might just possibly be the one. But when you ask for a second date or a phone number, your date smiles and says, “Good night.” And walks away from you. You thought the night was going perfectly. You found a special restaurant that played the perfect background music, and dinner talk was relaxing and enjoyable. Your eyes kept meeting, and you were just sure that you two had hit it off
