Not sure if this belongs in this SECTION but i think it will apply. (otherwise please move to lounge)

ANYWAY,

Doing some research on this since my Cholesterol count came back HIGH (too high this time) and found out today that Nicotine has a big impact on INCREASING bad cholesterol and decreasing good (so its a double wammy).

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in this country and it's also one of the few 100% completely avoidable diseases

It would INCREASE your odds of avoiding it, but there are NO GUARANTEES in Life, and so it is with Heart Disease.

Heridity plays a HUGH role in Health (period).

I personally have known (and even know) people with heart disease who never smoked and appeared to be in perfect health, who died or suffer from heart disease. Sometimes its a roll of the dice.
