When it is asked why does the government not ban a drug of addiction that kills and hospitalises so many people, the quick answer is always 'money'. But is that true ? Isn't it a fact that the cost of smoking related health problems, including death, is more than what the government gets. Is there any evidence one way or the other ?

I noticed lately that my feet have gotten longer and that I have had some cramping in my legs. A friend suggested that these were signs of growth. I got my first period when I was about 13, so I know I started puberty on time. I'm pleased that I'm growing, but I wasn't sure if it was normal for a female my age to still be growing. My mother stopped growing when she was about 15, and my father when he was 18, therefore, it's probably not hereditary.

I read this book about walking to lose weight. I walk all the time and never seem to lose any. Can someone help me lose some weight here? I need to drop about 50 pounds to really be happy with myself.

For about 6 months now I have begun forming a soft waxy or soft plasticky appearing solid mass of gunk that eventually will drop out of my eustation tube into my mouth/throat (I think, from the physiological drawings I have seen that this is where it is coming from). Prior to it dropping into my mouth I will begin feeling, with my tongue, a rough area on the side of my throat (behind my back teeth). It feels like I am getting a sore throat but am not really ill at all. I can touch the area with my finger and it feels unsmooth. Eventually, after about 5 days this thing will dislodge itself and fall into my mouth. The first couple times it just went down my throat and was a surprise. Since then I have been aware of what is going on and have acutally retrieved the thing to have a look at it. Should I be concerned about this thing? I haven't gone to see the doctor because I don't feel ill and haven't a really good explanation of what this is.

I'm 24, had my first peritonsillar abcess a month and a half ago. Had to have it drained, went on antibiotics, it came back 2 weeks later because I guess the infection wasn't completely drained. I had it redrained and I've been fine for 3 weeks now, but my mouth doesn't feel like it used to before all this happened. I get pressure/minor pain in my jaw on the side the abscess was on.. sometimes my throat feels tight (but doesn't get sore). Also, before all this happened, my ears clicked everytime I swallowed.. now sometimes it doesn't click in the left ear when I swallow.. like it feels clogged. It feels different.. no pain, just not the same. I've spent hours trying to research this but I haven't found any info. I know this sounds slightly hypochondriac-ish, but I want to know what's going on.
