Smoking And Health

I know it's harmful but sometimes I think that people exaggerate smoking effects. My dad has been smoking for 20 years and he doesn't have any health problems. I know lots of people who have been smoking all their lives but never had smoking related illnesses.

Only the Marijuana smoking health effects!

What is worst: Smoking 3 cigarettes in two hours or drinking 10 beers in that amount of time. This is for my health class. Any medical evidence to back up your response would be helpful too.

Just curious which one's more dangerous to your health. I know it depends on how much you drink/smoke, but let's just say we're looking at your average drinker and your average smoker.

Smoking. It is much more addictive than alcohol and sucks you in to consuming more as you get into the habit. This leads to higher levels of damage to your health. Alcohol is more controllable as long you stay on the right side of the consumption line, and in small amounts some alcohols actually have health benefits.

Given the above, the average smoker has a much higher chance of eventually falling ill because of his habit than the average drinker. Smoking illnesses have more widespread affects in the body, affecting lungs and cardiovascular functions, as well as greatly increasinng the risk of cancer. Drinking diseases can affect liver and brain functions. Chronic alcohol abuse can affect the the metabolism and digestive functions, causing malnutrion and some other resultant side-effects.

About 3.5% of cancer deaths are related to excess drinking. About 20% of cancer deaths are related to smoking.

Gathered up dust in furniture, dust bunnies. I know that isn't really healthy for the body. But my dad complains that it's worse for your health than smoking. That's why when I tell him smoking is bad, he says it's not as bad as breathing in the dust from the house. I don't believe him, but there is no proof for me to look up on the web. I've tried.

smoking is worse than house dust.

breathing in house dust can cause allergies and asthma attacks. however, smoking can also cause asthma attacks, and even worse it causes a chronic lung disease called emphysema and often causes cancer and heart attacks.

All the time professionals n doctors are describing bout the harm to the body by smoking!!So I wanted to know are there ny benifits also in dis term!!So the ones who know bout the benifits of smoking for health plzzz answer this quiz!!

Smoking does not have a single benefit. None whatsoever.

People do claim increase in concentration, reduction in boredom, less stress, better health, etc but non smokers and ex-smokers enjoy these benefits at all times.

I am saying this with experience.

I have a hundred times better concentration and focus on life and my work, I have so much more energy to do things, I don't get bored at all, no stress and sure, great lungs to work out and lose weight, low blood pressure, low risk of cancer.

Whatever benefits others have mentioned above are all illusions. I did agree with them at one time, I confess, but now I realize I was so wrong.

Smoke and sex:
Sex life gets way better if you don't smoke. Guys can expect to become "bigR N StrongR than before", more stamina, better smell and taste senses, you smell better, so does your sweat and body smell, that sex alone can be a great reason for you to stay off smoking. And believe me, it is WAY better than how you feel after that one cig after having sex.

There is no part of your life that will get benefited by smoking cigarettes. Not one.
