Line 23:
Line 23: − It makes you strong. And gives you more lung power. I smoked twenty packs today, and then I coughed because I drank some water and it went down the wrong pipe. But, my cough destroyed my house. There technically WAS a tornado next to the house... BUT, it was me. I know it.+ − After that, I went to work. I was kinda bummed out by the house and I decided to lift some stuff and break it at the construction site where I work. So I lifted this gigantic boulder! I didn't get to break it though. So, fine, technically there WAS a crane and the chain hooked to the crane was attached to the rock, I'm pretty sure. I LIFTED IT. I don't really think anyone was in the crane anyway, excluding bob... But whatever.+ − + − Kthxbai-- John Bulla+

== Health Effects ==
Smoking has a significant negative health impact, and causes many dangerous and fatal conditions, including cancers, heart disease, and respiratory disease.
It has been estimated that cigarette smoking is responsible for 28% of all deaths in developed countries in the 35-69 age group, as well as 35% of all cancer deaths and 28% of all deaths due to vascular diseases<ref>Hecht, 2006.</ref>. Smoking increases the risk of oral, pharyngeal, esophageal, laryngeal, lung, uterine, cervical, urinary, and kidney cancers<ref>http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/health_effects/cancer.htm</ref>.
Coronary heart disease is one of the biggest causes of death in the United States, and is 2-4 more likely in smokers than nonsmokers. Smokers are also 10 times more likely to develop peripheral vascular disease, which is a narrowing of the arteries. Additionally, smokers are twice as vulnerable to a stroke compared with nonsmokers<ref>http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/health_effects/heart.htm</ref>. Smoking also negatively impacts the respiratory system. Approximately 90% of all deaths from chronic lung diseases are the result of smoking<ref>http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/health_effects/respiratory.htm</ref>.
In addition, smoking has been shown to double the risk of Alzheimer's Disease<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/115829.stm</ref>.
