What happens if we lose oxygen for 10 minutes?

Most of our body cells would stop functioning after 10 minutes of lack of oxygen. If there is no oxygen in the environment, airplanes would have crashed, and mostly every vehicle that requires oxygen would stop moving.

Why has oxygen increased over the last million years?

Oxygen levels have fluctuated over geological time scales due to a combination of biological and geological processes. Factors such as changes in plant evolution, ocean chemistry, and volcanic activity have contributed to the increase of oxygen levels over the last million years. Additionally, the balance between oxygen production through photosynthesis and oxygen consumption through various chemical reactions in the atmosphere plays a role in regulating oxygen levels.

How does smoking age the body?

Smoking is like a living near a chemical plant that emits toxic waste into the water. Every sip you would take, does a small amount of damage to your body. After a few years of buildup, you would end up getting sick or weak. In the same way, every cigarette you smoke damages your body. The more you smoke, the greater the damage. Because smoking reduces the amount of oxygen you get when you breathe, your skin will suffer on the outside and become wrinkled and limp looking...but more importantly your heart works harder than it has to, your lungs too...and your entire circulatory system takes a beating. Over time, it all builds up, and eventually will reduce overall quality of life (and it's preventable by NOT smoking).

Can you get a tolerance for smoking marijuana?

Yes! I have been smoking it for a few years now and back when I first started, a few hits off a joint or blunt I would be higher than a kite. Now, since I have smoked consistently for so long, I take a few hits and can barely even get a buzz. This is what causes many people to get involved in even harder drugs like pills, cocaine/crack, heroine and others.
