Cigarettes Vs. Snickers Bar

If you need to choose one or the other, please choose to smoke cigarettes.

 

One pack of cigarettes a day, which contains 20 cigarettes, vs. 20 snickers bars a day- Which one provides you with the best chance of “long term” survival?

 

One snickers bar has 35 grams of carbs and 280 calories x 20 gives you 700 grams of carbs and 5,600 calories. In a very short period of time you will be an overweight diabetic with a markedly elevated cholesterol level and hypertension.

 

Worldwide death statistics for each category are:

Lung Cancer due to smoking – 1.5M (a pack a day x 20 years or more)

Hypertension -10M

Elevated Cholesterol – 4.4M

Obesity – 4M

Diabetes – 1.5M

 

If you were wondering about how many people die from emphysema worldwide annually – 0.135M 

 

So, not even close.

 

If you are going to choose between eating a Snickers or smoking a cigarette, FAR FAR safer to smoke that one cigarette. 

 

The best answer is obviously “C” – None of the Above.

 

So think, think real hard before you eat a snickers bar or any form of pure sugar.

 

Wishes for a great day, as many as you want,

Hugs too,

David/

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
