When did cigarette companies voluntarily put warning labels on boxes?
1966-caution-Cigarette Smoking may be hazardous to your health 1970-warning-The SURGEON GENERAL has determined that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health I found this on a google search.
Who are the people that smoke the most?
Anyone can get addicted to smoking. You wouldn't think so considering the difficulty one experiences when beginning the habit. As I recall, there was a lot of coughing, spitting, burning, dizziness, upset stomach, etc.; but if we persist, we can achieve addiction. Ah! the power of peer pressure and the need to be accepted.
And for years we happily burn up perfectly good money every day when we purchase the demon weed. And the little cough, etch, etch, that invariably goes with it.
Eventually, some of us come to our senses after burning away $40,000 or $50,000. Then comes the unthinkable; we decide to quit! Oh! The humanity!
Quitting tobacco products has sired a whole new industry. There are now patches, gums, hypnosis, acupuncture, to names a few methods to help you to quit. But when it comes down to it, there are two methods of quitting: tapering off, and cold turkey. I've tried both.
Tapering off only prolongs the agony of withdrawal and for me, at least, didn't work. I tried this method several times without success.
So, on 27 June 1972 at 4:15 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time, I quit cold turkey.
For three weeks I walked around in a haze ranging from agony for the first few days, to moderate discomfort near the end. But I beat the physical addiction.
Of course, the psychological addiction lasted for about 10 years. But the psychological addiction had no real power over me. I'd just have a random thought pop into my head that I'd like a cigarette. And I'd just as easily dismiss it. Or I'd wake up from a dream feeling ashamed of myself because I'd smoked a cigarette, only to realize that it was just a dream. heh!
How long does vomiting last for when you have food poisoning?
I've had food poisoning multiple times. So much so that I stopped eating beef and as a result have never had it again. And that was 6 years ago. The length of vomiting will depend on the severity of your food poisoning. With mild food poisoning and you should just vomit once or twice. Your body wants to get rid of the poison and with mild poisoning will do so in about a day. Severe is when you are vomiting every time you consume water and lasts for 2 days or more. So it can last a day or it can last longer again, depending on the severity and how strong the bacteria is. If you are sick for more than 2 days I would consider calling your doctor.
What are the kitchen safety precaution?
The guidelines to observe in the baking laboratory area are first, to remember it is a school lab, and you must ask to obtain things from the refrigerator. The next guidelines are that cooking is a privilege, wash hands in soapy water, to pull hair back in a ponytail, to stay in your own area, no horseplay, each table is set for each individual lab, do not eat until your group is ready, do not sit on countertops, wipe down countertops, and do not put knives in soapy dishwater.

Can you cook raw pork chops that are beginning to smell?
Any meat has something of a smell to it. Smell all the food you buy and learn what fresh meat smells like. Then you will know when it is bad. If it doesn't smell right to you or makes you recoil, don't use it.
Ingredients:
2 cups sliced fresh okra
2 médium tomatoes peeled and chopped
1 medium green pepper chopped
1 medium onion chopped
wagon wheel pasta (will say serving size on box)
Directions:
1.Boil water and add the ingredients, cook until pasta is done( around 8-10 min)
2. Add salt or pepper if desired.
3. Enjoy!
What do you do if you have a boil?
Boils are usually caused by a germ. One can try treating it by applying warm compresses, which will draw it to the surface. Once it starts to drain, wash it with antibacterial soap, until the pus is gone and then treat it with medicated ointment.
Salmonella typhimurium spreads by contact between the mouth, and dirty food, uncooked food, or warm uncooked meat. S. Typhumurim lives on dirty food, uncooked foods, and warm uncooked meats. Salmonella infections are a zoonotic disease meaning that the infection can spread between animals and people. Salmonella is transmitted from animals to humans and humans to humans by the fecal oral route. Salmonella can be passed from one person to another through poor hygiene. Salmonellacan be passed from one person to another by not properly washing hands after using the bathroom.
What is the best ways to quit smoking without using the patch or the gum?
There are various inhalers that are more like smoking, but they doesn't taste good (But then cigarette smoke does not actually taste good either, it is just that a smoker is used to the taste.) The disadvantage of this is that you are still carrying out the actions of smoking, so are not really "breaking the habit".
The best alternative is to just stop (Cold turkey.)
The worst symptoms will only last 1-3 days. After this what you really miss is the "actions" of smoking, rather than the drug.
On the plus side in a bout a week you will/may start to notice positive effects, warm feet, easier/quieter breathing, improved sense of smell to name but a few.
There are also a number of drug therapies available, but they tend to only be available on prescription.
Alternate Answer
There are more smoking cessation products available in the market besides patches and gum. If it is really tough for you to quit smoking then you can try for herbal cigarettes. Herbal cigarettes are the best possible solution to quit smoking. Whenever you feel to smoke that time you should try one cigarette, it contains very less nicotine in it which is not harmful. After using it for some days it will slowly reduce your number of cigarettes of a day and with in 1-2 months you can easily quit smoking.
Alternate Answer
You don't need anything to help you stop smoking. First of all, you "stop" smoking, you don't "quit". The word "quit" immediately implies that you are depriving yourself of something that you need. You are not. Instead of thinking "I need a cigarette", think "I'm so happy to be ridding my body of this poison that it doesn't need". That is the basic psychology behind it. Do not use any nicotine replacement products, you're just prolonging the misery for yourself.
What if you swallowed chewing tobacco?
Gum is made of Flavor, corn syrup, and gum base. the gum base is what makes the gum chewy. All the ingredients of gum are digestible, except gum base. Gum base just simply passes through your system just like popcorn. It normally digests within a few days.
When people say it will sit in your stomach for seven years, it is incorrect. That is just an old wives-tail.
If you swallow chewing gum, it goes through your digestive tract whole until it is excreted as it cannot be digested.

How many volts of electricy can kill a person?
A simple experiment to show voltage as ultimately harmless is to track across carpet then touch metal. The shock that you receive from this can easily exceed 12,000 Volts, and can be in the high 20's. There is no real current to this shock though, and the duration of exposure is also negligible. Current is the amount of charge that passes through a plane, where as voltage represents the difference of potential energy between source and its ground (you in this case would be the path to ground). Current is roughly equivalent to Voltage divided by resistance. Meaning the higher resistance is, the lower the current which is harmful product. Your house (in the United States) provides 110-117VAC at 60 Hz to all of your outlets. What you need to look at here is the 60 Hz. Because 60 Hz so closely matches the pace of the heart, this frequency is HIGHLY dangerous, as when the current passes your heart it can cause fibrilation. Now, if you have ever done any household electric work, you have likely touched a hot wire before and been fine. Most outlets and sources still do not have a ton of current through them. Also, the sudden shock causes you to jolt back minimizing the duration and protecting the heart. Were you to grab and hold on to these wires, you would likely die from it. In avionics, I know that 400 Hz frequency is generally used, and this is far safer to work with, as it is far less likely to cause fibrilation. Higher current sources though will still cook a person in a matter of seconds. With all of this in mind, your question asks what is the lowest amount of volts that can kill you. Because resistance of each persons body is different, the amount of current produced from a voltage source will differ depending on who is touching it, and how they are exposed to it. Were a small child to latch on to an active AC source with even 30-40 Volts, it could be deadly (fibrilation can still occur at lower voltages and cause death). For DC, the voltage would be approximately the same, but the primary path of the current would have to be through the body to be dangerous at all. For an adult, you would be looking at 40-50 Volts.
How does mobile phone radiation damage cells?
Scientific studies have not shown that mobile phone radiation does cause sickness or cancer. More powerful radiation than mobile phones, like the radiation from nuclear power plant accidents, damages the DNA in the cells and leads to cancer and other related diseases.
Why are mobile phones are not allowed around petrol pumps?
There is supposed to be some kind of electric current that is emmanated from a cell phone when it is in use that could potentially ignite the vapors from gas.
I saw a TV show that actually tested this hypothesis, the Myth Busters. In a controlled experiment, they put an open container in a closed box with a cell phone with a 'live connection'. The phone never did ignite the fuel. I see a lot of people yapping away at the gas station while their pumping gas. I've never heard of anyone actually starting a fire this way. But apparently someone believes this can happen because there are warning signs at all the gas stations to not do this!
Reason 2: Talking on a phone can cause a distraction. He/she who is pumping fuel may spill it either on themselves or on the ground. Since petrol vapours are extremely flammable, the slightest spark (from static electricity from your clothes or from the starting of an engine) can ignite the fuel. This has been proven.
The reason you're not allowed to use a mobile phone in a petrol station is that it might interfere with the electronics that measure the fuel and report to the cash desk. There's a general ban on using electrical equipment while fuelling because of the risk of a spark, but a mobile phone is unlikely to cause one.
