Do cigarettes cause lung infections?

Cigarettes can cause more than lung infections. They can cause cancer, and even death. Cigarette smoke is just as bad as smoke from a fire, and with cigarettes, you are inhaling that smoke. The smoke from the cigarette can also cause cells to die, which is not good at all.


What does it mean when white smoke comes out of a 94 Plymouth Voyager?

Blown head gasket is the likely culprit. It could be a blown head gasket, but if the engine isn't sputtering or running rough, that is unlikely. It could be a leaking head gasket, but unless it is vomitting water when the accerator is depressed, this is unlikely. The most likely cause is a common one for that year and model Chrysler/Plymouth minivan. The lifters in the engine are held up by clips. It is a common occurrance for these clips to loosen and drop after about 70,000 miles. The exhaust will smoke, it may use a little more oil, but it is not a critical problem. It can be fixed, but it is expensive, and not altogether necessary.
