| Fumes From One Cigarette Can Seriously Damage Your Heart! |
| A study has just blown apart a theory held by social smokers around the world who believe the odd cigarette on a night out is harmless. An intensive study was done on a large group of healthy people aged between 18-30, after each had smoked a single cigarette. Scientist were horrified to find that arteries of each participant in the test stiffened by around 25%, after just one cigarette, which resulted in restricting the blood flow, causing serious damage to the arteries, and the heart. It is now a proven fact, SMOKING CAN KILL INNOCENT BYSTANDERS! |

Look, cigarettes constrict arteries (that's pretty solidly proven), and any artery constriction can
indeed result in a clot (a lot less than smoking can do that too, even sitting too long in a cramped
space), and sometimes clots break free and make it to the heart and kill you. It's all very logical
regardless of whether we know the details of this study mentioned or not. However I will grant it's
extremely rare just one cigarette would kill you just the same as it's extremely rare cramped legs
will release a clot that kills you. Rare. But it does happen. |

Reference research leader: ''Dr. Stella Daskalopoulou, of McGill University, in Edmonton,
Canada.''
Amanda Sanford of anti-smoking campaigners ''ASH,'' stated after the results of this study: '''this
evidence is proof that there is no safe level of smoking.''
Therefore, smoking should be banned from all public places, especially from around public bus
stations, and train stations. And anyone suffering the nusiance, and stink of filthy disgusting foul
second hand cigarette smoke in their face, and up their nose, ''SHOULD,'' now be able to sue the
offending culprit for commiting the serious crime of attempted murder against them. The main point
is if you die from inhaling foul disgusting filthy second hand smoke from callous smokers, then you
will indeed have lost a very important part of your life!...;-) |

Do you know what sort of study it was? There are numerous types and some are really much less
accurate than others. For example, one could say they studied those who drink milk have a 25% risk
of _____, but if those milk drinkers were not a carefully selected for a specific type of very
controlled study, it really means little other than that many people do drink milk and some people
have underlying conditions that were not carefully screened prior to the study. I have a few pages
on the types of studies. I'll try to get back to you with the accurate study types and the ones
that are pretty much tailored to create the results that were hoped for when conducting the study.
It's pretty hard to believe that one cigarette on a social occasion is doing great harm since there
have been no large scale studies done on those who smoke under a certain amount. Did you know that
anything can harm you in excess? Water can kill you if you drink too much at once by throwing your
bodies electrolytes off balance. I would love to read the study you mention. |

Funny Lord Daniel was making the same point just the other day. It's almost like you are the same
person sometimes. But is hard to believe that one person could create such an amazing amount of
bombast, B.S., and hot air.
The temporary effects of nicotine on the arterial system have been known for some time. The side
effects of the nicotine are out of your system in minutes. Furthermore second hand smoke carries no
risk of nicotine exposure. Even using the most dubious of statistical analysis methodology no study
has ever been able to make a case for anything but carbon monoxide exposure from second hand smoke.
The bus you are waiting for at that bus stop represents a much bigger CO exposure risk and resultant
health hazard than a room full of smokers. Do you intend to sue public transport?
If you intend to bring science into this please try to understand what you are talking about. By the
way the study was about people actually smoking cigarettes it makes no mention of second hand
exposure. |

"58% of statistics are made up." I'm curious how that study twisted those results...
Seriously though, how did this study come up with one cig on a night out can damage your heart? In
comparison with breathing exhaust from the car in front of you while you're driving to work? Or
everyday pollution in the air? How does any of that differ? |

I don't see anything that appears to be factual or liable in the heading or the explanation; I
disagree with nearly every word. |
