yes Helen, be careful. I can't remember the last time I was dating with a girl that doesn't smoke. They now smoke even more than men do.

[Steven]

girls smoke just because they wanna look elder and smarter, but, it's common for youth. Though, women also smoke, and they smoke because they were to curious when they were young. Now women can't give up smoking.

In fact girls are usually smoking for one reason more: to be skinny. Have you noticed that most, not all, but almost all women that are smoking are more skinny than the regular ones?

I do agree with Hakan. BTW, did somebody notice that people, which are smoking, have a more dark skin - brown like tobacco?

[Nicholas]

You mean yellow...
Smokers teeth are getting yellow as time passes, and then they tooth ache starts..
Going to a dentist is not that fancy, huh ?

[Faw_Peter]

hey, stop it. You wanna say the more a girl smokes the skinnier she gets? Give me a break! Is there a scientific explanation for that?

[willyoumind]

If you want to have the bad breath, yellowish teeth and have the chances of getting assorted types of cancers, then feel free to smoke with the rest of your life...lol

[M.Helen]

actually I'm also interested in this kind of information. Is it true that smokers are skinny?

[Karl.in.eu]

This is totally true! Here is an article published first by Reuters: http://www.healthcentral.com/heart-dise ... 35-66.html
It says that the tendency – of losing weight by smokers versus non smokers is quite evident. And it applies to the opposite situation too: when smokers quit smoking they gain weight.
But this rule is followed by another, when a smoker looses weight he gains even more chances to develop lung cancer, the opposite being true as well…
So,
May girls would like to look thinner, but doing so by smoking and increasing the number of diseases, among which is cancer, is not the proper solution.

Thanks for the infomation, it's very interesting. I think many women in the world, if they read this article, would start smoking, not paying attention to the second conseqence you menitoned, Karl.

[Steven]

you are right Peter. Women already began to do that. Here, read it

that would be stupid

[Big_Becka]

I have thought this for a long time. In my family, the women who do not smoke are mostly morbidly obese, while the women who do smoke are thin and relatively healthy Maybe someone should investigate giving nicotine patches to fat girls?

[Hakan G]

that would be a cruel experiment, but still interesting.

Becka, you said you're from UK, so, as far as I know British scientists spend a lot of money for carrying out such experiments. Why don't you suggest them do that? Just joking
I think such an experiment already was conducted. I mean even you prove the fact by the example with your family!

[Karl.in.eu]

Passive smoking is dangerous too. I didn't see anybody mentioning this

It's true - the funniest one I heard was a few years ago - a team of PhD Students at Cambridge had studied which biscuit was best for dunking in your cup of tea... [IIRC Digestives were the best]. Yes, perhaps I shall quit my job and do a PhD, whilst losing weight

[Terry]

It really sounds funny, Becka. But, don't you think that some day such experiments, that at first sight look stupid, may help people and make their lives easier? I mean you can't make a big progress in one big step; a progress consists of many small paces.

[M.Helen]

For a girl it's really important not to smoke, in order to maintain the health of her future child in normal condition. Also, she should keep away from passive smoking.
