Re: ASCERS IN DENIAL

It is now but 24 hrs, from the magical time.

If you listen to the wind you can hear the angels whispering and
giggling.

The gentle scent of the winds has a rose scent in it.

For an angel was to be given onto the earth this day August 26, 1980.

So don't forget to light up one, at 7:00pm EST.

I am your little angel
and I'm sent from far away
To cheer you up if you are sad
or had a life that is bad.

So when you make a home for me
make sure that it is near,
For when you to need to talk things out
I can lend an ear.

I'm here to make you smile
when you feel blue,
Just look into my eyes
and I'll smile right back at you.


Or when your feeling lonely,
and no one seems to care,
Remember I do,
and is everywhere.


If you are scared and don't feel safe,
and don't know what to do,
talk to me
and I will get you through.

Now find that special place for me
deep inside your heart,
And I will always be here for you
for we shall never part

For when it is our time to end

We shall go to my home forever.

Any form of tobacco 'is harmful'

Public health experts are warning that more effort needs to be made to
alert people in the developing world to the dangers of smoking tobacco.


A Canadian study of 27,000 people has showed exposure to any form of
tobacco - including chewing and "bubble" pipes - boosts heart attack
risk.

There are estimated to be 1.3bn smokers worldwide, 82% of whom live in
developing countries.

Heart experts said the Lancet study was further evidence smokers should
quit.

This study provides further evidence that tobacco exposure - whether it
be smoking, chewing or inhaling - is seriously bad news for your heart
health
Ruairi O'Connor, British Heart Foundation

Most research has looked at people in developed countries who smoke
cigarettes.

This study looked also looked at chewing tobacco, smoking 'bubble
pipes' or sheesha smoking (where tobacco is smoked through a water
pipe) which is common in the Middle East and beedie smoking - where
tobacco is rolled in a dried leaf and tied with a string, popular in
South Asia.

The researchers, from McMaster University in Ontario, looked at 12,400
heart attack patients in 52 countries and compared them with 14,000
healthy people.

They concluded that, overall, heart attack risk was increased
three-fold in smokers compared with people who had never smoked.

Passive smoking

Chewing tobacco doubled the chances of having a heart attack, as did
smoking eight to 10 cigarettes a day.

Heart attack risk decreased with time after people stopped smoking.

In the case of light smokers who had fewer than 10 cigarettes a day,
there was no excess risk three to five years after quitting.

However, people who smoked 20 or more cigarettes a day still had a 22%
increased risk 20 years after giving up.

The study also concluded second-hand smoke was dangerous to the heart.

The team found people exposed to passive smoking for at least 22 hours
a week increased their risk of a heart attack by around 45%.

Professor Salim Yusuf from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, who
led the study, said: "Since the risks of heart attack associated with
smoking dissipate substantially after smoking cessation, public health
efforts to prevent people from starting the habit and promote quitting
in current smokers, will have a large impact in the prevention of heart
attacks worldwide."

Ruairi O'Connor, of the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study
provides further evidence that tobacco exposure - whether it be
smoking, chewing or inhaling - is seriously bad news for your heart
health.

"The good news for smokers is that much of the added risk of a heart
attack recedes after quitting - a great reason to kick the tobacco
habit for good."
