Is it possible to get lung cancer (or any smoking related cancer) from a single cigarette (even if it’s hard to prove)
or is lung cancer just possible at a long time use of cigarettes?

I guess the question kind of explains itself but I tried a cigarette for the first time last night and I dont plan on doing it again so can get I get lung cancer from just the one time? I only smoked half of it before I stopped.

I only smoke like 1 cigarette a weekend and maybe 1 over the weekdays occasionally. What are the chances of me getting lung cancer?

Fast food represents a major health cost to society. This decade, under serious legal pressure, the McDonald’s corporation agreed to:

+ Include healthier food items.
+ Provide more nutritional information about fat and calories.
+ Stop supersizing.
+ Warn customers not to eat in their restaurants more than once each week.

Is it enough? If we treated a cheeseburger or french fries like a pack of cigarettes:

– there would be no advertising,
– there would be a health warning,
– the food would be taxed excessively, and
– if you were under the age of 18, you could not buy it.

But seriously, the fast food industry may face the same types of lawsuits that the asbestos manufacturers and tobacco manufacturers faced. How can we as a society deal with the huge cost burden of fat and out-of-shape people?

Is a french fry like a cigarette?
