According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), tobacco is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in the United States and that, in 2011, an estimated 19 percent of U.S. adults were cigarette smokers.4 This is down from over 40% a few decades ago. Good progress. But for those who do smoke, diseases leading to death are common. Smoker's mortality rates are nearly 3 times greater than those of nonsmokers and essentially equal between men and women. People who smoke are up to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than nonsmokers, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked. Cigarette smoking causes an estimated 443,000 deaths each year, including approximately 49,000 deaths due to exposure to secondhand smoke. It is important to know that, on average, smokers die twelve years sooner than non-smokers. Twelve years! That's more than a decade! It means life for smokers is more than ten percent shorter than for non-smokers.

I have a ton of medical problems and possibly lung cancer, Nodule for now, with Chiari malformation, Neuropathy, Neck Pain, Back Pain, Headaches, Blackouts, and can barely move at all some days, and I'm a recovering drug addict, I'm not looking to start abuse again, (though it is very easy to slip into) but I absolutely need Percocet. And guess what, I cant even get Tylenol 3#. I cant get Carisprodial anymore, because my new doctor ignored the fact that I was on it 8 months previous without any problem, and I am just miserable. Just don't know if I should switch doctors again or just keep WAITING... And WAITING... And getting worse. I'm thinking I may need an underground narcotic, like Soma used to be, like tramadol, But I can't take tramadol Because seizure. Any suggestions for a Narcotic Painkiller WITHOUT THE LABEL "NARCOTIC"? ]]> Latest Drug Related News why45 http://www.drugs.com/forum/latest-drug-related-news/drug-laws-killing-me-63482.html
