by Microbe World

Question by Joyce W: Smokers only: Do you think the European cigarettes are better than the US made?
I’ve recently heard from a friend that cigarettes from Eastern Europe are better than the US made as they don’t put so much garbage in them in Europe. Any ideas?

i used to smoke ones from Spain that were much much better, also about three times as expensive as the normal ones are now.

EDIT: Clifton, where else could he ask this question? The Cancer section? What kind of answers do you think he would get there? “Oh smoking is evil and it was invented by Satan…” that’s what I see coming out of the hell hole known on Y!A as the cancer section!

Q&A: How to make them see how much cigarettes are hurting them when it is hurting me?

Question by Issa P: How to make them see how much cigarettes are hurting them when it is hurting me?
Both my grandfathers died when i was in elementary school due to cigarette smoking (one was lung cancer, the other wasn’t but his lungs made the death slower and more painful).
My x-bf and close friend is 23 and has full out emphysema.
My current significant other has cystic fibrosis, a lung disease he was born with that is severely worsened by cigarettes. Literally cuts years off of his life when most non-smokers with that disease die before they get into their 30s.
My professor who I am close to quit smoking 20 years ago, yet still has a very raspy voice and can’t eat many foods she loves because cigarettes destroyed her liver, on top of many other problems.
Almost all of my friends smoke cigarettes. When I see them do this I see them digging their own graves. I have a hard time talking to them about it because I am hurt and come off as a bitch.

I am writing to ask for help with an art project I am doing. I cast a pair of lungs out of glass with cigarette butts melted in them. I plan to mount them in front of x-rays of the upper body and putting a cigarette butt in the mouth. Any ideas how I can make one image portray my feelings better? I would like the viewer to see that each cigarette is cutting minutes off their life. Other points include a more painful death and the fact that those around them are force to experience second hand smoke.

I am looking for advice on visual aids to help express this idea or a phrase. Or even just venting on how you feel about cigarette smoking could help.

Answer by Chloe ;3
What about if you have 2 kids looking down at a grave with cigarettes on the grave stone? Or maybe the grave is on fire? A skeleton made out of cigarettes? Or even put the ideas together and have 2 kids looking at a gravestone with a skeleton sitting up out of the grave smoking a cigarette. Or a grave stone completely covered with piles of cigarettes.

I personally think your idea of the lungs with cigarette butts melted into them and put infront of xrays is better. You should keep that. [:

But yeah, I agree with you about smoking.

I used to smoke in high school. My father found out that I smoked cigarette one day while I was at school. When I came home, I walked through the door, and as soon as he saw me, he walked over from the kitchen to me and slapped the living s*** out of me. After he slapped me, he threw the packet of cigarette towards me and walked away. I haven’t smoked since that day. It happened 20 years ago.

Good ol’ fashioned whoopin helped me kick the habit.

Q&A: How bad is second hand smoke from cigarettes?

by lecercle

Question by danaluana: How bad is second hand smoke from cigarettes?
My boyfriend smokes. We live together. He never smokes in the house. He goes outside on the lanai (balcony); but when the when shifts, it will sometimes blow smoke to where I’m at in the house. Also, when he comes in after just having a cigarette, the smell is very strong and I can feel it in my throat. I have an inherent lung condition. If he won’t give up cigarettes, do I need to give him up.

Best answer:

Answer by Dallas M
The second hand smoke from cigarettes are probably overrated. My father was a chronic smoker and my brother chain-smoked everyday when I was young, but I am alive and well. I have moved out but still, I don’t really think second hand smokes post much of a problem.

Oh, you have a lung condition. This is really a dilemma but you should take care for your own health first. I believe you could ask him not to smoke in front of you, in which case he might get pissed. But a gentleman does not smoke in front of a lady ( according to the Victorian book of ettiquette). If he does not take your wants seriously, then the best thing to do is to dump him.

Has anyone ever tried Electronic Cigarettes before it was banned?

by Beverly & Pack

Question by : Has anyone ever tried Electronic Cigarettes before it was banned?
( i know Italy permits use and sales , so maybe someone from ITALY CAN HELP ME )) I read in wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette that there wasn’t enough trials and studies to substantiate its effectiveness. But i am interested to know if you have used it from your experience if it works and how did/does it feel when using them? Do you get a buzz like with real tobacco products? I read in the Wiki that there was not enough clinical studies and toxicity analyses conducted and within the proper regulatory framework so therefore it’s effective cannot be proven.

But on a personal level if you used it how did you feel after wards?

thanks!

Wiki: “The health effects of using electronic cigarettes are currently unknown. Several studies regarding the long-term health effects of inhaling nicotine vapor are currently in progress.” ( sourced from Wiki )

ALSO do you know of any other aid to quitting smoking devices that do not contain carcinogens and toxic-ants ( such as nicotine gum as this may cause oral cancer -) ( quoted from wiki: Nicotine replacement therapies, such as nicotine gum, that were used for long periods of time may be associated with an increased risk of contracting oral cancer.[14]

This might be a dumb idea, but could you have a clock next to it, with cigarettes as the minute or hour hand? That would make me think that cigarettes are taking time off your life… but i dont know
Good luck, this is for a good cause. I know what you mean about wanting to help others but coming across as… well you know I’m in nursing and I hate to see people destroy their lifes, when it is SOOOO obvious that smoking causes a number of things, cancer, COPD… etc! ACK

Could you make a baby lung next to it, with the baby’s full of second hand smoke? I don’t know how you would do that, but its an idea.. Show that the baby is unable to control the fact that he or she experiences second hand smoke.

But of course, sometimes the most amazing art is ones that aren’t too obvious. I suppose you don’t need to make it super obvious, that its going to make people think.
Another idea… fill an hourglass with soot!

Hehe I’m full of useless ideas. Hope something comes in handy..Man I wish I was in art!

Q&A: Why do people say things like tanning salons, cigarettes, and alcohol should be banned?

by Judge Rock

Question by Miss Mallory: Why do people say things like tanning salons, cigarettes, and alcohol should be banned?
It just seems weird to me, ya know?
People comming off as crazy. “Well, tanning beds give people cancer, so they should be banned all together.”

It’s like when a non smoker walks up to somebody smoking a cigarette and says, “hey, did you know that’s bad for you and that every time you inhale your lungs are turning black and that one day, that little tiny mix of paper and tobacco is gonna give you cancer and end your life slowly and miserably.”
You would think a smoker would know that. After all, they get to see first hand the damages done by smoking. Better than any non smoker who doesn’t wake up feeling a tightness in their chest when they try to inhale, and who doesn’t find themselves exhausted and out of breath doing the simplest of things.

Just like people say tanning beds are bad. That if they had it their way, they’d be shut down for good. Just because people tan, doesn’t mean that they are ignorant to the dangers of tanning. There are signs posted that tell you that it’s bad for your body.

And then people who say alcohol should be banned, because it makes people act stupid and is the cause for drunk driving. Well, most of the time, those drunk people are at bars with other drunk people. I do agree that being wasted in public isn’t good.
But I don’t think that alcohol is to blame for deaths caused by drunk drivers, because at the end of the night, it wasn’t the alcohol that made you drive your car, it was you.

I guess I just don’t understand why you cry and complain about things like this. If you don’t believe in smoking, DON’T SMOKE.
If you don’t believe in drinking, DON’T DRINK
If you don’t believe in tanning, DON’T TAN!

But why try to bombard the industries with insults and accusations, and why fuss at people who support them?

It’s just a rant. Does this make sense to anybody else?

Best answer:

Answer by Free-bee
please dont rant. but i think tanning fries your skin and is bad, and so is smoking, you dont have to try it to have an opinion on it.
but alcohol. no harm there if you dont get drunk everyday.
so i’ll ban 2 out of 3

I gave up smoking with champix, how I quit smoking cigarettes

This is how I gave up smoking and my experience of it, I couldn’t do it by will power alone. I have tried to quit before but failed. This new drug has come out called Champix and I thought I’d give it a go, I loved smoking and really didnt want to stop but Im getting older and really want some fitness to do the things I like to do. Its also annoying that the world has alienated smokers and I am sick of that too. So here is my short story of how I quit. I chew lots of gum and also like the occasional redskin lolly to help me through. I might live longer now hopefully. With Champix, I think you actually start to withdraw the day you start taking them. The first week is spent smoking with no satisfaction. By the second week your brain has withdrawn from nicotine because the champix is blocking it. All you are doing after that is satisfying your physical habit of the action of having a smoke. Set a day at around 2 weeks after you start taking champix and stop, I know its hard but just do it! You will start to feel better about not smoking than it was to smoke. Good Luck !!!! Always consult your doctor if you have any issues. Most of them will be to withdrawing from cigarettes, but the tablets can make you feel sick, just make sure you eat before taking them.

(Cigarettes) How many till there is an appearance on the lungs?

by Ed Yourdon

Question by : (Cigarettes) How many till there is an appearance on the lungs?
I’m getting a lung x-ray in a few days, and I’m wondering how big of an appearance approx. 10 cigarettes would have made on the lungs? I don’t smoke often, only every second weekend (and all in all, it’s been 10 cigarettes). I’m 17, and I’m going to stop smoking now because I’m afraid my mom might find out if this lung x-ray will make it turn up.
What are the visible affects of cigarettes at 10 cigarettes? Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Marcelle Joster
It is a great resolution to stop smoking. And 11 cigarettes is not enough to show the impact of nicotine on your lungs. It takes years of smoking in order to show. So relax:)

States Aim at Electronic Cigarettes

A growing number of states are taking aim at electronic cigarettes in an absence of federal regulations, intensifying a public-health debate over the fast-growing alternative to traditional cigarettes. Lawmakers in more than half a dozen states from Arizona to New York have introduced bills this year that would prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. Mike Esterl has details on The News Hub.

Q&A: Does smoking marijuana have the same or worse effects, as far as getting cancer, as cigarettes?

by Joost J. Bakker IJmuiden

Question by Love: Does smoking marijuana have the same or worse effects, as far as getting cancer, as cigarettes?
I was told that by smoking marijuana you can get cancer too. Is lung cancer caused by the smoke or the chemicals in what you are smoking?

Best answer:

Answer by =^_^=
Tobacco, no matter how it is consumed, causes cancer. Smoke can cause cancer too, but at a slower rate. However, marijuanna has several chemicals which FIGHT cancer. So actually lung cancer rates among people who ONLY smoke weed (and not tobacco) are lower than even people who just live in polluted big cities and don’t smoke anything.

Does smoking cigarettes cause brain damage due to lack of oxygen or something?

Question by Acim: Does smoking cigarettes cause brain damage due to lack of oxygen or something?
One of my friends keeps telling me tobacco and the smoke produced by it is neurotoxic. Any insight on this? Please only serious answers, I do not smoke cigarettes but I’ve never thought of them as brain-damaging and can’t find information online. Don’t post all this stuff about how smoking causes lung cancer — we already know that.

The only thing I could think of in cigarettes (other than all those chemicals) that could cause brain damage would be the lack of oxygen, which I believe is what produces that dizzying nicotine buzz.

Which is worse smoking cigarettes or marijuana?

Question by Bugs: Which is worse smoking cigarettes or marijuana?
I’ve never done either, but I am wondering about doing weed because people I know are just really chill all the time and so much happier when they smoke. Since I am stressed a lot, I thought it would be a nice way to calm down..but what are the long-term effects?
All I ever hear about regular tobacco cigarettes is that they are addictive and can give you lung cancer and other respiratory problems…well what about weed?
All I hear about weed is good stuff, like on the news and basically everywhere (I live in California). They just say that the only side effect is that you are happy and have the munchies. But don’t you also have the same long-term problem of lung cancer, respiratory problems, and all the same side effects as tobacco cigarettes because you are still smoking?

Won’t marijuana hurt everyone who uses it long-term, like people who smoke tabacco cigarettes everyday?
