Blindness Is Ultimate Reward For Lighting Up
Category: The Latest Baddest
Many of us recall the admonition - don't do that or you will go blind. Medical causation was always dubious, however.
Now, parents can use the terrifying warning to discourage another bad habit, smoking.
The long list of health risks associated with smoking just got a little longer.New research shows that smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop the late stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
AMD is the leading cause of blindness in Western nations, according to researcher Jennifer Tan, MBBS, and colleagues.
Tan works in Sydney, Australia, at the University of Sydney's Centre for Vision Research and Westmead Hospital's ophthalmology department.
Is there any organ of the body which is not adversely affected by smoking? Does tobacco have any positive social value other than as a transport vehicle for large sums of money into the bank accounts of Big Tobacco?
