So much of my family lore nd stories actually sound so fucking insane it's hilarous actually

[tazzertopia]

dumb thought but would smoking have any effect on asuma bc surely in a world where characters can canonically breathe out and spit fire, acid, lava, mist, ect cigarettes shouldn’t cause that much damage

I'm very bitterly taking out my rage at the constant pain I've been in for almost a whole two weeks now on a weight loss commercial. Tbh they'd deserve it anyway

[corvidcall]

im gonna be honest i am really struggling w the whole submarine meme cycle. i know theyre rich people who paid to get on a deeply unsafe submarine to go down and gawk at a pile of rusted wreckage that once held other rich people, and they should have known better, and that it seems so obviously like a death trap

but also. idk. theres no way those people didnt die in the most horrific way i can image, and even if theyre bad people who brought it on themselves.... i just really dont think it's that funny overall, and the fact that every other post on here and ALSO on twitter are just people memeing about it is making every single social media deeply unpleasant to use.

[sunnywalnut]

And suddenly I'm a lot more thankful for anti smoking ads

[fandomchaosposts]

the fact that Bismuth is radioactive and carcinogenic is so homophobic 😤

Causes of Lung Cancer

Smoking is one of the biggest causes of Lung Cancer. But it isn't the only one. Being in close contact with secondhand smoke, Radon in your surroundings, air pollutants, and industrial chemicals like asbestos, arsenic, etc. can also cause it. Be aware. Take action. Don't let the Cancer take over.

actually. no offense or some offence meant. those are actually some upper middle class white kid ass results. the results can be skewed by both the age and race of people voting in the poll - tumblr is largely a) young b) white c) american. however one of these statistics Will Surprise You. disclaimer: i pulled these stats really quickly and they are usa-centric. theyre all from past 2020 i think tho

the cdc states that only 5.3% of people ages 18-24 smoke cigs, which is the lowest percentage across age groups. the next age group of 25-44yos jumps up to 12.6%. (meanwhile, vapes are most commonly used by 18-24yos at 11% - i am a part of this population)

(however, vapes are most commonly used by white ppl, and cigarettes are secondmost commonly used by white ppl, and indigenous people smoke the most according to one source i pulled but not according to this one, which i think is the one in the wrong)

we briefly covered race and age now let's cover class, which is where the big money is (literally)

"Current cigarette smoking was higher among people with a lower annual household income than those with higher annual household incomes" (CDC) - some stats: 18.3% of those with a lower income, 12.3% median income, 6.7% high income. also smoking is more prevalent in the american south (and midwest) than in the west and north. west virginia has the most smokers of any state (25%), and west virginia is the third poorest state in the country. the rural south has the highest percentage of smokers in general. those without higher education have a higher smoking rate than those with.

so. quick conclusions. more white people smoke than any race other than indigenous people. young people from ages 18-24, which is the demographic of this site, smoke the least out of every other age groups. poor and rural people are by far the most likely to use nicotine products, and also, more disabled people smoke than abled people + WAY more people with mental health issues smoke than those who do not have mental health issues.

also let's not act like smokers don't "give a shit about not having lung cancer", we do care - most (67.7%) of smokers want to quit, and only 8.8% of people who have tried to quit smoking in the past year (according to a 2022 study) actually succeeded. i have nic gum in my cheek as i type this, i am on my third quit attempt, i am southern, white, rural, and working class.

upper middle class white* kid ass results. biased. congrats we've inadvertently found the demographic of this website thru the silhouette of smoking stats vs the results of this poll. i think that a lot of you are middle class and also kind of fucking rude to act like we don't give a shit about our health (ONLY 8.8% OF PEOPLE WHO QUIT IN THE PAST YEAR ACTUALLY SUCCEEDED. NICOTINE IS ADDICTIVE). however i am cool, not a virgin, and keep having to tell people that i have a bf so make ur own conclusions with that.

a late addition that i don't feel like paraphrasing: Smoking prevalence, age of onset, intensity of use, and rate and speed of smoking progression among youth varies by race and ethnicity. In 2014, among middle-school students, Hispanics had the highest prevalence at 3.7% followed by non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) at 2.2% and non-Hispanic blacks (NHBs) at 1.7%.6 Among high-school students, NHWs had the highest smoking prevalence at 10.8% followed by Hispanics at 8.8%, other non-Hispanics (ONHs) at 5.3%, and NHBs at 4.5%.6 Compared with their white counterparts, African Americans initiate smoking later, consume fewer cigarettes per day, and progress more slowly toward regular smoking.7 Rate of smoking initiation and progression from nondaily to daily smoking is higher among white (18.2% and 18.8%) and Hispanic (20.3% and 15.9%) youth than black youth (16.2% and 9.6%).8 African Americans have lower smoking prevalence in adolescence but higher smoking prevalence in adulthood when compared with whites.9 Among those who initiate smoking by age 14 years, continued smoking into adulthood is higher among African Americans compared with their white counterparts.

my heavy smoker grandparents came over very briefly and the whole house smells like absolute shit now. So I (chronic tumblrina) got thinking.

Unveiling the Silent Killer: Exploring the Link Between Lung Cancer and an Undiagnosed Lung Disease

Our lungs play a vital role in keeping us healthy and alive. They are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, ensuring that our bodies receive the vital oxygen needed for proper functioning. However, when our lungs are compromised by disease, the consequences can be severe, leading to health issues such as lung cancer. In this article, we will delve into the connection between…

Tim vapes.

To his friends, namely the ones at school and not so much in Young Justice, this ain’t anything surprising. It’s popular for his age group and given how he has various roles in life that cause anxiety and his poorly concealed PTSD from being Red Robin, it makes sense he’d turn to something for comfort.

That comfort just happens to be an addiction to the ‘cancer usb’s his brother Dick once went on a two hour rant about.

Jason once got grounded and forced to watch a PowerPoint video made by Dick and Bruce after he was caught with a cigarette while still Robin. Jason still kept up the bad habits, but he normally turned to a drink or smoke when things were really bad. It was both recreational and a treat that he only had a few times a year, or month in the case of alcohol.

Tim doesn’t take breaks unless he’s on patrol.

It started when he was thirteen and was so tired from starting work with Wayne Enterprise and Robin that he didn’t give his usual response to his friends offer of a hit.

The passion fruit guava flavour settled easily in his chest, most likely due to how he had a lot of self control with his body. He coughed a storm afterwards but quickly found himself coming back for a hit or two during school breaks.

It only took a month for him to buy his first one after some research. He bought the least damaging one for his body even if he knew that lessening such damage didn’t fully remove it.

He started with grape.

Then once that died, he bought sour apple.

Then fairyfloss.

Then strawberry mango.

Then birthday cake, which he genuinely didn’t think could be real but alas.

It took almost four years for anyone in his family to notice and by pure luck it was his actual father who would end up dying a few months later. Tim remembers how guilty he felt when he realised his father would no longer be yelling at him for his ‘fruity fucking stink’ and that such a thing gave him genuine relief. He shouldn’t want his dad to be dead, yet…

It was then Tim realised that maybe he should try slow down his usage, and challenged himself to go a whole hour before a hit, then two and then finally three before he decided that would be enough for a while.

It’s on a particularly bad patrol when he saw a kid get hurt and wasn’t in time to save her from some likely permanent damage that he forwent his rule of vaping in the suit and took several hits while against a wall in his Red Robin attire.

He was just stating to feel the calm fully settle in his bones as his last puff of sour rainbow exited his lunged when he heard a voice just a few feet away.

“How dare you disgrace the name of Robin with that filth!”

Tim jumps up immediately but no training would prepare him for how quickly Damian comes over and snatches the vape from his hand.

Damian is gone quicker than he can get himself together and he only just managed to shout and run after him with his growing panic.

Tim watches his youngest brother vanish from sight and knows he’s doomed.

When he gets back to the cave a few hours later after trying to hide away from his problems, he’s finished his second vape (star fruit grape) from pure stress.

He’s met with the entire family sans Jason giving him the most disappointed and concerned look he’s seen since he confessed he lost his spleen and didn’t tell anyone.

Damian won’t meet his eye but even then Tim can tell from years of studying his younger that even Damian feels a little guilty for outing him, but as Dick looks close to tears with how upset he is the others resolve clearly strengthens.

Tim doesn’t blame him, even if he’s mentally going over all the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

A lot of houses legit have a problem with their concrete basements being thick with radioactive radon daughter products. In some areas a high-than-normal rate of lung cancer can be directly blamed on common building materials, frequent temperature inversions, or the types of naturally occurring rocks. You can read more about this from the EPA. Of course if you want to check your basement for radon a RADIAC meant for detecting general area radiation levels is not the instrument you want to use, an air sampler and an alpha particle detector would be better. You can detect alpha with a Geiger-Muller tube, but I've always used a scintillator myself. So if you have readings on that thing then, yeah, it's probably more likely to be fallout than radon.

Or maybe someone was making dirty bombs. Or maybe Marie Curie used to live there. Or maybe it's a whole lot of really old watches.

Lung Cancer Unveiled: Everything You Need to Know About Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Lung cancer

Overview

Lung cancer is a type of disease that begins in the lungs and is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. The lungs are two vital organs in your chest that take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Cell lysis in the lungs is an important source of spread of malignant growth worldwide.

Risk factor

The most important risk factor for lung cancer is smoking, but non-smokers can also develop the disease. The time and amount of cigarettes smoked can affect the likelihood of a lung cell analysis. Why and for what Smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer, but exposure to secondhand smoke can also increase the risk of this disease.

Some lung cancers have an unknown cause, making early detection and prevention difficult.

Types of lung cancer

There are two main types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is mostly associated with smokers, while non-small cell lung cancer includes several different types of lung cancer, including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Lung cancer can cause various complications such as shortness of breath, coughing up blood and pain. If cancer spreads to the central airways, shortness of breath may occur, while coughing up blood may be caused by bleeding from the disease. Pain may also occur if cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones. Fortunately, there are several treatments available to treat these complications, so it's important to discuss all symptoms with your doctor. Caring Surgery: Surgery is the main treatment option for early stage lung cancer. During the operation, the cancerous tissue is removed along with the surrounding healthy tissue. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be given orally or intravenously and is often used in combination with other treatments. Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy uses drugs that target specific genes or proteins in cancer cells to stop their growth. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is a newer form of treatment that increases the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Palliative care: Palliative care focuses on treating symptoms and improving quality of life in patients with advanced lung cancer.

conclusion

lung cancer is a serious disease that affects the lungs and can have many harmful effects on the body. Although smoking is the most common cause of this disease, non-smokers can also develop it. It is very important to be aware of the symptoms of lung cancer and see a doctor immediately if they appear. In addition, early detection and prevention through regular health checks and smoking cessation can help reduce the risk of developing this disease.

Billy is smoking. And the JL are confused cause who let Marvel have a pack of cigarettes. With the time bubble thing in Fawcett and it being stuck in the 1950s the doctor gave him a pack of cigarettes cause it will help whatever cold or infection he has now. Cause it's healthy!

After a relatively tough fight the JL are tired. Captain however seemed to be the opposite, he's still his usual happy go lucky self cheering up the rest of the League. And it's all going fine and all and they enter the space ship. Everybody's in the control room sighing, and talking. The team's spirit seemed to be lifted up until... Marvel pulls out a pack of cigarettes. But he doesn't seem to be the guy who smokes so casually.

Flash: Woah dude you smoke? Isn't that bad for you? If you even have lungs but dude, I don't judge.

Flash doing a little shrug as Captain lights up the cigarette with electricity.

Captain Marvel: Oh, yeah I do. My doctor prescribed me it, I need to take it hourly.

Flash, along with the other audible confusion of the JL: ..What do you mean your doctor prescribed you it...?

Captain Marvel with a confused glance puffing out smoke:.. Yeah? I don't understand what's wrong with it, the doctor said the smokes gonna cleanse my body or something. People always take a cigar, Mary and Jr have been prescribed it once too?

Flash now with a deadpanned but also a confused expression: What.

Superman: Marvel.. I don't think that's a licensed doctor your seeing.

Captain Marvel tipping the ash onto a coke bottle cap: What? Of course my doctor is. Look Mr. Superman I would think to know to trust a professionals words.

Superman: No, cap. Smokings like really bad, it has nicotine in it and it can cause lung cancer.

Captain Marvel holding the cigarette between his fingers: Oh, you believe in those theories? They've been going around a while now.

Green Lantern: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEORIES??? THIS IS BASIC KNOWLEDGE????

Captain Marvel now with a chuckle to his speech: Yeah right, nice joke. You should really consider becoming a come-

Flash: DONT STEER THE CONVERSATION?? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN JR AND MARY HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED THE SAME THING.

The JL are now speed questioning well more like interrogating Captain. Batman now scheduled a visit to Fawcett to see what the hell is going on in there.
