and the 2nd GREATEST of them...
Reading for my GEK test tomolo is very educating...
it's alarming to read that actually tobacco use(in short smoking or exposure to smoking) is the second highest causing death factor.
yeah..u got it..the figure is 5.4million
2nd after Poverty...even Aids/HIV stands at 5th position only...surprisingly to even myself...
number 1 goes to poverty/malnutrition/disease cycle at 11million annual deaths.
So if we have a fully loaded 200-passenger jet crashing every day of the year with no survivors....and if u are a smoker... u are most likely to be a passenger on the 74 jets to be crashing down every day....
if u are frequently exposed to smoke..u might be slowly dragged into the jet without realising too..
yea..tat many huh..guess so.. it's the statistics from WHO..
well i guess there's enough of me talking about smoking..as close frenz would know it...i detest it...
but i just like to reiterate the point once in a while...and really cross my fingers hoping some smoker frenz of mine out there who reads my posts would quit it...
i do hope that the above contains more alarm than my usual see u and saying "eh try to quit la...not good for health..."
lifestyle choices..u choose ur life...make to live in style...not in hell..
oh and kicking the habit...by the age of 30 can avoid nearly all the risk of dying prematurely but then again doesnt mean you smoke all you want til 30; afterall the longer u smoke the harder to quit...nicotine is highly addictive..Air Turbulence at 7:31 PM
