How does smoking affect your life?
= How Smoking Affects Your Body = There's hardly a part of the human body that's not affected by the chemicals in the cigarettes you smoke. Let's take a tour of your body to look at how smoking affects it. Starting at the Top As a smoker, you're at risk for cancer of the mouth. Tobacco smoke can also cause gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath. The teeth become unsightly and yellow. Smokers may experience frequent headaches. And lack of oxygen and narrowed blood vessels to the brain can lead to strokes. Lungs and Bronchi Moving down to your chest, smoke passes through the bronchi, or breathing tubes. Hydrogen cyanide and other chemicals in the smoke attack the lining of the bronchi, inflaming them and causing that chronic smoker's cough. Because the bronchi are weakened, you're more likely to get bronchial infections. Mucus secretion in your lungs is impaired, also leading to chronic coughing. Smokers are 10 times as likely to get lung cancer and emphysema as nonsmokers. Smoking and the Heart The effects of smoking on your heart are devastating. Nicotine raises blood pressure and makes the blood clot more easily. Carbon monoxide robs the blood of oxygen and leads to the development of cholesterol deposits on the artery walls. All of these effects add up to an increased risk of heart attack. In addition, the poor circulation resulting from cholesterol deposits can cause strokes, loss of circulation in fingers and toes and impotence. Smoking and the Body's Organs The digestive system is also affected. The tars in smoke can trigger cancer of the esophagus and throat. Smoking causes increased stomach acid secretion, leading to heartburn and ulcers. Smokers have higher rates of deadly pancreatic cancer. Many of the carcinogens from cigarettes are excreted in the urine where their presence can cause bladder cancer, which is often fatal. High blood pressure from smoking can damage the kidneys. The Results The health effects of smoking have results we can measure. Forty percent of men who are heavy smokers will die before they reach retirement age, as compared to only 18 percent of nonsmokers. Women who smoke face an increased risk of Cervical cancer, and pregnant women who smoke take a chance with the health of their unborn babies. But the good news is that when you quit smoking your body begins to repair itself. Ten years after you quit, your body has repaired most of the damage smoking caused. Those who wait until cancer or emphysema has set in aren't so lucky-these conditions are usually fatal. It's one more reason to take the big step and quit now.
Frank used to smoke pot but quit and now just smokes cigarettes
lung cancer is caused by smoking: Lung cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This growth may lead to metastasis, which is the invasion of adjacent tissue and infiltration beyond the lungs. The vast majority of primary lung cancers are carcinomas of the lung, derived from epithelial cells. Lungcancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and women, is responsible for 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually, as of 2004.[1] The most common symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing (including coughing up blood), and weight loss.[2]
The main types of lung cancer are small cell lung carcinoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. This distinction is important, because the treatment varies; non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is sometimes treated with surgery, while small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) usually responds better to chemotherapy and radiation.[3] The most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke.[4] The occurrence of lung cancer in nonsmokers, who account for as many as 15% of cases,[5] is often attributed to a combination of genetic factors,[6][7] radon gas,[8]asbestos,[9] and air pollution,[10][11][12] including secondhand smoke.[13][14]
Lung cancer may be seen on chest radiograph and computed tomography (CT scan). Thediagnosis is confirmed with a biopsy. This is usually performed by bronchoscopy or CT-guided biopsy. Treatment and prognosis depend upon the histological type of cancer, the stage (degree of spread), and the patient's performance status. Possible treatments include surgery,chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Depending on the stage and treatment, the five-year survival rateis 14%.[2]

Tobacco smoke in an Irish pub before a smoking ban came into effect on March 29, 2004
Passive smoking is the inhalation of smoke, called secondhand smoke (SHS) or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), from tobacco products used by others. It occurs when tobacco smoke permeates any environment, causing its inhalation by people within that environment. Scientific evidence shows that exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke causes disease, disability, and death.[1][2][3][4]
Passive smoking has played a central role in the debate over the harms and regulation of tobacco products. Since the early 1970s, the tobacco industry has been concerned about passive smoking as a serious threat to its business interests;[5] harm to "innocent bystanders" was perceived as a motivator for stricter regulation of tobacco products. Despite an early awareness of the likely harms of secondhand smoke, the tobacco industry coordinated to engineer a scientific controversy with the aim of forestalling regulation of their products.[6] Currently, the health risks of secondhand smoke are a matter of scientific consensus, and these risks have been one of the major motivations for smoking bansin workplaces and indoor public places, including restaurants, bars and night clubs.
The term thirdhand smoke was recently coined to identify the residual tobacco smoke contamination that remains after the cigarette is extinguished and secondhand smoke has cleared from the air.[7][8][9]Preliminary research suggests that byproducts of thirdhand smoke may pose a health risk,[10] though the magnitude of risk, if any, remains unknown.

ill have to disagree with that. i own one and i know after extensive research that these rifles start around 750 and can go as high as 1500 to 2000 depending on condition of gun, box, and paperwork ..for example

If the gun is completely crisp-new, with all paperwork, original box and sleeve, we are seeing those sell (actual sales) from $700-$800. sales@countrygunsmith.net
What is inelastic demand and does salt cigarettes or biscuits have the most and why?
The concept of Inelastic Demand means that the goods are not responsive to any price changes. If we say a good faces an inelastic demand curve, this means that any price changes, increases or decrease will have little or no impact on the quantity demanded. For example, we can say that specific medication for certain illness can have an inelastic demand, as even if the price of the medication increases, there is little that the consumer can do, the consumer still needs to buy the medication, as he needs it. Hence little or no changes in the quantity demanded for the medication even if there are changes in the price.
You need to understand that several factors can affect the elasticity of demand like time period, percentage of income spent on the good and the number of substitutes.
To answer your 2nd question, Salt will have an inelastic demand. This is because there is not a lot of substitute to salt. Another reason is that people spend a small fraction of their monthly income on salt. Hence, any changes in the price of salt, will have little or no effect on the quantity demanded for salt.
Cigarettes will have an inelastic demand as well. As there is little substitutes and also people can be addicted to it. While biscuits will have an elastic demand. There can be quite a number of substitutes to biscuits. If the price of biscuits increases, immediately consumers will reduce the demand of biscuits, and opt for substitutes.
cigarettes is a stick full of chemicals and causes cancer of lungs and other cancers
What is sharing of cigarette between friends called?
Buss Downs and Aces
The bust down and the ace are essentially all you need to know about the sharing of cigarettes between friends...
a buss/bust down is when one person, usually the person who purchased the ciggarette (or bussER, if you will) smokes the ciggarette half way and then Joe Smoker (aka the bussEE) comes along and asks for a buss down....
now giving someone an Ace is giving them the last little tip of the ciggarette to smoke. maybe 4 or 5 pulls worth....
so you may here someone in the hood say "yo let me get a bust?"....and then you may hear them say...."nah yo, that's not a buss...that's a Ace!"..( or Ace me on dat?)
You can also ask to bum a fag/cig if you simply want a smoke.

Dysphasia is a language disorder in which there is an impairment of speech and of comprehension of speech. It is caused by brain damage, usually in the left side of the brain which is responsible for language and communication1.
The term dysphasia has been eclipsed by the modern usage of the term "aphasia" particularly in the field of speech/language pathology so as not to confuse with the swallowing disorder "dysphagia". Aphasia literally means no speech. But the speech impairment in aphasia could range from complete absence of speech to difficulty in naming a few objects. Aphasia is generally tested on the basis of comprehension of speech, fluency of speech, repetition and naming of objects1.

Is smoking cigarettes considered suicide?
Not in the literal sense.
Suicide is the deliberate act of taking one's own life.
Although smoking has been proven that it can be detrimental to the smoker and the people who inhale "second hand smoke".
You tell me how people die in fires.Most people die of inhaling smoke in house fires. Because the smoke will get into your lungs faster than the fire will burn you alive. That's why they tell you to get down low. Because the smoke raises. Isn't smoke, smoke?When you inhale too much smoke, you can die. When you smoke, the smoke gets into your system, and that's why some smokers can die at a young age.Smoking can be suicide because it can harm you, and eventually kill you.
I believe it could be considered suicide If you smoke with intent on ending your life earlier. But who really doesn't already know cigarettes will do that?

How can you tell if someone is addicted to pain medicine?
The main physical signs of a person under the influence of codene/hydrocodone/oxycodone (vicodin,lortab,oxycontin etc. etc.) are as follows: Constricted (pinpoint) pupils even in dim light. Hot or sweaty and flushed, they will be abnormally hot or sweaty in a normal climate with little to no activity. lethargic, Drowsy or Hiper and entergetic depending on the person and the length of abuse. The longer the abuse the less drowsy the effect. The longer the abuse the harder to see the side effects, except the pinpoint pupils. They can also be moody, forgetful etc. It's hard to tell if someone is addicted per se unless you know how much and how often they are taking the meds. Are they taking more than the prescription states? Do they "have to have" the meds. Do the make a big fuss when the can't get them or start running low? Are they running out before they should? If you think they might be then something is making you wonder/question. so they might be. If they have cronic pain and they see a doctor who prescribes the meds. then sometimes addiction is the same as pain control. It can be a very fine line between pain control and abuse.
