If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

Yes, I saw that as well Emma, it is very scary, we all seem to home in on the damage smoking does but tend to be more accepting of drinking and obesity, I saw first hand what drinking does not just to the drinker but to the family as well and believe me I will stick to my smoking, I don’t drink and try to keep my weight down but I guess we all have our vices.

If you have COPD, you burn up more energy breathing than any form of excersize will burn up.

Your left lung is smaller than your right. It has to be to make room for your heart.

Psychiatrists say that 1 of 4 people are mentally ill. Check three friends. If they're OK, you're it. Undecided
