Interesting Smoking Facts

By fletch Friday, January 4th, 2008

Coopersguns has a good list on it’s front page: ’40 things you don’t know about smoking’. Some of these are ludicrous!

• Smoking doubles the risk of dementia
• Smokers are at increased risk of back pain
• Smoking weakens bones by de-mineralising them
• Nicotine is more addictive than heroin and alcohol?!
• Smoking depletes the body of vitamin C by 30%
• Smoking damages the gut

Not that I’m particularly anti-smoking but who’d have thought it? Depletes vitamin C?! More addictive than heroin!? What?!
