I smoke 2-5 cigarettes a day?

Question 1
I smoke 2-5 cigarettes a day?...  and maybe like 10 on a night out (once a week usually)

i keep fit and healthy, go to the gym, swimming and walk about 2 hours a day

how likely is it i'll get a smoking related disease
and over what time period will this happen
your lungs do manage to get rid of it over time btw, they clear up if you stay clean for a while. There is a lot of shit in the atmosphere like car pollution etc which is also pretty bad for you - i live in the countryside

Answers
1)   Pretty likely. - peanut

2)   You are smoking to much i suggest you cut down a bit. you are quite healthy so you are not in so much risk but i would say you stop going to they gym. it can cause a stroke. - Philis

3)   You'll still get a smoking related disease even if you smoke that little bit.
Your system is still inhaling the smoke therefore you're letting all the shit get into your system. - Christopher

4)   The smoke has nowhere to go, whatever the case. It just sticks to your lungs and forms a film, or so I've heard.

I always wonder about all those quit-smoking adverts. I mean, I wonder if those dudes/dudettes are going to, after they quit, have someone open them up and clean up their lungs. It's a pretty unorthodox thought, though.

I've only smoked on a few occasions, and yet lately under mental anguish I've been thinking of grabbing a cig or two, but then that wouldn't really be an occasion, so I had to stop myself from doing that or else it goes from there to being like the people who get up at 3am just to light up.

I'll always drink alone. No biggie. But smoking alone is something I find to be unecessary, and if unavoidable: an addiction.

Of course, this is all just a personal take on the subject. I am by no means a medical expert. I have given it thought, though, especially lately. They say there is no such thing as an occasional smoker. I'm not trying to contradict that. I am trying to illustrate that it's important to avoid it entirely, if that is really true. - perfectlybaked

5)   You should STOP SMOKING! I am sure your state offers a FREE HOTLINE that you can call for FREE COUNSELING! Use it! It worked for me! Also, medication can help you get off that disgusting dirty habit. Smoking is the worst. It also makes you look bad and SMELL BAD!
Smoking is BAD FOR YOU!!! ... No matter how few you think you're smoking.

Question 2
Whats wrong with him? - (sore throat, swollen glands, vomit with blood and mucus)?...  My mum's partner has recently over the past few days been really ill. He has has a very bad sore throat and extremely swollen glands. Today he began vomiting with lots of blood and mucus. We don't know what is wrong and can't get to the doctor till tuesday. Our house is very damp and cold so could this be a reason? We are moving house in 2 days so should he recover if it is to do with this?

Also about 5 years ago he suffered from pneumonia....could this be something to worry about - has it come back??

thanks and please only actual advice - not guesses as i need to be certain.

Answers
1)   IT;S probably tonsilitis i had the same symtoms. but i dont know about the blood aand mucus , the pneumonia is nothing to do with it . if it treated he will become better but if it isnt being treated GO TO A DOCTOR IMMEDIATLY. - Philis

2)   Vomiting or coughing up large quantities of blood is a medical emergency. You should go to the ER. - ExeneC

3)   hard to tell from here how ill your mom's partner really is, but you say quite ill, and from your description it sounds like he's getting worse - so go see a doctor. and unless you're snowed in or live on an island with no boat arriving before tuesday, i don't see why you wouldn't...
from people on the internet you will never get anything but guesses, cause they don't have all the information. even if doctors would read this (i actually am one), they can't give you a diagnosis without even examining the patient. lots of times it's hard to be sure even if you have the person in front of you. so, wait till tuesday if you (and your mom and her partner) feel, that it's not so bad that he needs help right away - in any other case: see a doctor - blaubär

4)   If I was vomiting blood I would be down A&E. But you are doing the right thing by asking people on here!!!!!!!!! - Annie M

Question 3
How can i get rid of acne and blackheads in the creases around my nose?...  I'm turning 15 in a few months. I've been blessed with clear skin, me and my sister both. Never, ever, had a problem with acne. Ive always had little black spots if you looked close enough, but they never amounted to anything. About a month or two ago I started getting zits in the creases around my nose. I go one and it was huge, probably on my nose for a month. It scarred. Got another one about a month ago, and like the other one, it made itself at home. It scarred too. Then, I woke up this morning and I can feel one coming!! V-day is in two days and the last thing I need is my nose to look like a zit farm again!! I wash my face with Neutrogena foaming cleanser, alcohol free toner, and oil free moisturizer. I don't understand why I have acne. I'm looking for mask, spot treatment, and product ideas that aren't expensive. Please, and Thank you! :)
