The Wand of Death: Cigarettes


                                              The Wand of Death: Cigarettes
Smoking is known to reduce people’s life spans by nearly about 14 years, and it kills 6 million people every year. Cigarettes contain 7000 harmful ingredients, which are very dangerous to humans and other creatures. They must be banned from the legal trade and must not be legally consumed, because they are life-threatening and highly addictive.
Some of the deteriorative substances which can be found in cigarettes are aceton, tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide. These mostly affect the respiratory system and make breathing more difficult. If one inhales at least one of them regularly, he/she will damage his/her entire body.
The most commonly known disease that smoking can lead to is lung cancer. If you are being diagnosed by this type of cancer, that can mean your chance to be alive five years after is less than 1 in 5. Another serious consequence of smoking is heart disease, which can cause heart attack. Men can get erectile dysfunction, which can inhibit procreation, and women can get cervical cancer, which makes childbirth impossible. Besides that, it can trigger blockages and narrowing in your arties which causes less blood and oxygen flow to your heart and it can result in a stroke. Therefore, stroke in fact can be a reason for paralysis, altered brain functionality and death. But there are some milder effects of smoking cigarettes: yellow teeth and fingers, smelly hair, mood stimulation, unpleasant breath, wrinkly and dry skin. So, lots of illnesses can be obtained by smoking.
  But the biggest problem is: no one can avoid the smoke in the streets – that is how non-smokers become second hand smokers. Studies show that children whose parents smoke, get sick more often and they are more likely to wheeze or have a shortness of breath. Second hand smoking can also cause asthma or make asthma even worse. Furthermore, inhaling smoke is heavily dangerous to pregnant women, because it injures the woman and the baby at the same time.
All in all, the noxiousness of smoking can be clearly justified by many facts. Firstly, it has got a great deal of harmful and addictive substances in it. Secondly, it causes several diseases, for example lung cancer and heart disease which can be deadly in a serious stage. Thirdly, it also results in milder consequences like hair loss or bad breath. Fourthly, smoking reduces your life spans. Fifthly, every smoker damage and endanger the health of non-smokers, who are helpless against the flow of smoke in the streets, including children and pregnant woman for example.

Recognizing lies through nonverbal communication - Cseh Szabina

Outline Thesis: There are behavioral clues to deceit we can observe that are evident in face, body, and voice. I.                    The face 1.       “The wise monkeys” 2.       Looking aside 3.       Deceitful smiles II.                 The body 1.       Fidgeting near the neck 2.       Folded arms 3.       Crossed legs 4.       Pointing our toes III.              The voice 1.       Swallow voice and our lips 2.       Higher pitch and lower tone 3.       The speed of speech Conclusion: Lies can be noticed through nonverbal clues, but these clues do not always hide deceit.

However, deceiving others can be recognized if one observes the telling clues that cannot alwa

Black of the Night or Nature's Green? Health Effects of Green and Black Tea

Black of the Night or Nature’s Green? Health Effects of Green and Black Tea The vast variety of different types of tea can be overwhelming. Every person in every culture has their own favoured kind of tea – White Tea, Black Tea, Oolong Tea, Pu-erh Tea and so on – but their short and long-term health effects are not always the same. Over the years countless studies have been published by scientists and physicians about the health effects of different teas trying to prove one's or the other's superiority. In this paper I will examine the health effects of Black and Green Teas and provide arguments for the beneficial effects of drinking Green Tea. Black Tea is a type of tea that is made of Camellia sinensis leaves and which is more oxidized and stronger than other tea types. It is an effectual antioxidant because of its free-radical scavenging and metal-chelating ability (Sharma et al., 379–404). For this reason, it eliminates inflammation and prevents the formation of c
