All products containing tobacco, like cigarettes and snuff lead to disease and death by causing:

> cancer of mouth, throat, lungs, larynx, food pipe, urinary bladder, kidney, pancreas and cervix;

> accelerating heart disease and hypertension;

> chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd);

> reproductive problems like impotence in men, sterility in women;

Smokers have

> 20-25times higher risk of developing cancer

> 2-3 times higher risk of heart attack

> 3 times higher risk of sudden death

Passive smoking is deadlier than u think

Children who inhale tobacco smoke, run risk of having bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, and reduced rate of lung growth.

So, Friends, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. DON'T LET IT GO UP IN SMOKE pls!!

My grandma always told me never to take a shower after exhausting myself at the gym, but most of my friends do it. Is it all a myth or fake?

For admissions purposes to a university, they are requiring I get immunizaions for Rubella, Mumps, and Measles. I think I got those when I was younger but I don't know where my medical records are (my step mom kept them or they may be located on a medical base that I dont have access to) So, my question is can I just go to a local walk-in clinic and just get them again?

Im taking the test soon in Massachussetts and I am wondering how hard it is and what they focus on. Each state has a different test but the questions couldnt be far off from each other. Is it all multiple choice? What should I focus on?
