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/
