A smokers visit to the doctor.
I'm sure a heavy smoker knows that when he walks into a doctors office he is about to get 'That Talk' about his smoking habits.
Well this one Pakistani man decided to make a boring routine talk interesting.
Man walks in to the office stinking of smoke.
Dr:How much a day do you smoke?
Man: I don't smoke.
Dr: But you smell of smoke.
Man: I dissolve tobacco in water and rub it on my skin . It keeps the skin healthy.
(Dr at this has decided to ignore the last comment)
Dr: Have you ever thought of, or tried to quit smoking?
Man: Whats the point the day of judgement is about to
come any day.
True story.

So yes the rate of death due to MI (heart attack)is higher than Lung Cancer , but there are multiple factors causing those MIs ,not JUST fatty foods. Smoking causes vascular disease thus is also included in as a cause of MI. Smoking does not only cause Lung cancer but also and cause COPD's and like I said before vascular disease as well. So it is hard to to come up with solid numbers to compare fattty foods with smoking.
Anyways ...yep a never ending argument ...I'd like to end this on an old joke I used to say when i first started cuttting down on smoking ....
friends : hows the cutting down to quitting going ?
me : great ...I only smoke after sex now ...
friends : cool
me : yep I'm down to 15 a day ......!!
boom boom!
hmm...ok ..I think that joke comes across much better when you tell it in person !!! :P
Seriously, I'm not arguing it does no harm (that would be monkey talk!) - I'm arguing the risk is the same as many other things we enjoy doing. Like getting fat.
So yes, I'm arguing that the only way to make sense of risk is to comapre it to other things with risky outcomes. You simply cannot calculate risk ina vacuum. Well, you can but the result is meaningless. So you need at least two events to assess risk meaningfully - and it turns out that smoking is of equal risk to obesity.
{for all i=1 to 2,
for all j=1 to 9,
var. = 50;
}
Variable no. 10 can differentiate the effects of smoking on the human subjects. Assuming the more commonly held view of the effects of smoking by the world (i.e., it adversely affects health, which we represent as a penalty of -10), we come up with the following two equations:
v = 0;
v = -10;
Thus it has been now scientifically proven that all other factors being the same, the introduction of a tobacco-laden ingestive material deteriorates health.
Ofcourse this is considering the premise that ingesting tobacco is bad for your health .. which also has been proven in another scientific study. But then isnt that what we were tring to prove here? ....wow...

If anyone is interested I have the number of a recommended hypnotherapist in London..haven't used him myself but I have a friend that smoked 40 a day saw him once and hasnt touched a fag since ..(and its been a good few years) ......
In the US (1990 figures), tobacco accounts for about 435,000 deaths, or 18.1 percent of the total. Poor diet and physical inactivity (obesity) were close behind and rapidly increasing, causing 400,000 deaths, or 16.6 percent.
If the trend continues, it will overtake deaths from smoking by 2010.
the movie is hilarious and done so well that it actually makes sense and is funny at the same time.
am not saying it makes u wanna smoke but it sure makes u wanna get some popcorn and icee coke
