I wonder how long it will be before “they” decide that those silly vape devices for smokers are also detrimental to health?

 

[MikeD]

I wonder when Doctors and Dentists will stop selling the "good name" of their industry to companies like Cigarette makers.

I wonder when dentists will get a cameraman who isn't pissed and can hold a camera straight.

I think they have already?

It’s called pop something or other I think and affects the lungs?

Only one of my rellies who were smokers made it past age 60.

I inherited their fancy silver cigarette cases, and a perspex cigarette box inscribed with the GEC logo. Very modern, probably a promotional gift from GEC to my dad who was in the power generation business and a likely customer. Back in the 1950s and 1960s if you didn't smoke you were a bit suspect.

On a slight tangent, I remember the campaign that claimed "Guinness Gives you Power" (nudge nudge, wink wink). Nowadays there's a small blue pill for that.

What I am amazed at is that none of those who used to work for W.D & H.O Wills in the offices have paut a claim in as they used to give there staff a carton of fags with the monthly pay check.


That's how I started! Sister used to work for them but didn't smoke & stacked them up on the mantle piece .I used to help myself

Many year ago Doctors suggested you take up smoking to toughen up your lungs

You don't have to have smoked to get COPD.. I can assure you . I have never smoked but was diagnosed with it in 2010.. Passive smoking is the cause of mine I believe due to working in an office where all my girls smoked and also the pubs etc.

Plus being a child and having parents and relatives that smoked like chimneys in the house or confined spaces like cars and motor homes .

Reading the above adverts about keeping slim by smoking.. I wondered if there was any relationship between the rise in obesity and smoking .. ie.. obesity numbers increasing due to smoking cessation ?

a quick google came up with these two reports which supports that to a degree.. but there are many other factors.. and a complex subject, but makes interesting reading ..

The effect of tobacco cessation on weight gain, obesity and diabetes risk

Study Importance

• Tobacco cessation is an important public health priority, yet many smokers gain weight after quitting, in some cases offsetting some of the health benefits of quitting.
• Smoking is a risk factor for diabetes, but cessation could interfere with glucose control for some.
• Some interventions that combine tobacco cessation and weight control have proven effective in helping smokers quit without excess weight gain.
• Previous reviews of this area have not focused on the integration of neurobiological, behavioral and health services research and none have included intervention effects on diabetes.
• Integration of tobacco cessation, weight management and diabetes prevention and management may be a new direction for health care.
