No, smoking is not a dependent variable; it is typically considered an independent variable in research studies examining health outcomes. Dependent variables are the outcomes being measured, which can be influenced by smoking. For example, in a study looking at the effects of smoking on lung health, lung function would be the dependent variable, while smoking would be the independent variable.
temperature, pressure , volume, are independent density, viscosity, etc are dependent Properties of mater are always dependent of independents. as (dependent) density , viscosity , mass density , phase conduction , etc always vary when we change independents .(temperature, pressure , volume) so you can understand dependent & in dependent
The answer depends on the context of the study.
Smoking is bad for you. it increases the risk of several nasty kinds of cancers.
Nicotine increases your heart rate. The menthol is insubstantial.
while you smoke your pulse rate increases
The amount of smoking is a significant factor influencing the rates of emphysema, as increased smoking typically correlates with a higher risk of developing this lung disease. In this context, the amount of smoking acts as an independent variable, meaning it is the factor being manipulated or observed to determine its effect on the dependent variable, which is the rate of emphysema. Studies consistently show that more extensive smoking leads to greater lung damage and a higher incidence of emphysema.
Cigarette smoking lowers HDL cholesterol, as does malnutrition and obesity
explain what it means to quantify a variable I think to quantify a variable is to be able to place a value/figure to something. eg: smoking 1 cigarette a day can reduce your life expectancy by say... 7mins. Any other ideas... someone?
