Harmful effects of taking shisha
Harmful effects of taking shisha
It may interest you to know that #Shisha smoking is quite
becoming the fastest trend now in parties, clubs, bars, and
even some homes.Also known in some countries as
narghile, hookah or goza; #Shisha is a waterpipe wit a
bowl, a hose, a smoke chamber & a pipe/
mouthpiece.Specially made tobacco is heated & the
smoke passes through water, absorbed into a hose
connected to a mouthpiece for the smoker, The origin of
#Shisha is disputed, some say Turkey or India but it's
accepted it came from Middle East/Asia. Shisha is global
now though.
Shisha smoking is a way of smoking tobacco, sometimes
mixed with fruits or molasses sugar, through a bowl & a
hose with a mouthpiece. The hose connects the flavored
smoke from substances being burnt in the bowl to the
lungs of the smoker through the mouthpiece Shisha pipes
use tobacco sweetened wit fruits or molasses sugar
which makes shisha smoking a more pleasurable
experience than cigarettes
Popular #Shisha flavors include apple, mango,
strawberries, coconut & mint. This gives the smoked
tobacco a sweet smell & smooth taste.The presence of the
fruits & flavor makes the #Shisha damp, so the tobacco is
burnt with wood/charcoal to bring out its smoke & aroma.
The sweet scent, the pleasurable taste &the awesome
feeling is the reason that #Shisha smoking is now a
regular habit for many people. For some people, a Friday
evening is not complete without at least one hour of
#Shisha smoking. For others it's up to 3or4times a week.
Now because of the flavors, the sweet aroma & nice taste,
there's a gross misconception that #Shisha is NOT
harmful, unlike cigarettes.
Others say since the tobacco smoke has passed through
water,all the toxic chemicals in the #Shisha hav been
filtered out. This is a lie.I need to be very assertive in
stating categorically that #Shisha smoking is a
destructive habit regardless of the smoke being flavored.
Despite the fact that #Shisha is flavored &passed through
water, the carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) &nicotine
remains very present.
regular #Shisha smokers should know they are at risk of
the same medical problems as cigarette/tobacco
smokers. The nicotine present in #Shisha smoke is very
addictive & things may degenerate that the smoker may
need the #Shisha every day.
According to a W.H.O research, the amount of smoke
inhaled in one hour of #Shisha smoking is the same as
smoking 100-200 cigarettes.People smoke #Shisha for
longer periods than they smoke cigarettes. Just 1 puff of
inhaled #Shisha smoke is like smoking a whole cigarette.
It's hard to imagine but its true. Just one hour of #Shisha
is same as smoking abt 100-200 cigarettes. Yet ppl
smoke #Shisha for hours. The wrong assumption that
Shisha smoking is harmless compared to cigarettes is the
reason why many engage in reckless #Shisha
smoking.Just like cigarettes, #Shisha smoke contains
toxic agents like tobacco, nicotine, tar, Carbon monoxide,
and heavy metals like Arsenic.The nicotine content of
#Shisha is very addictive and may lead to a smoker being
dependent. That's why they feel incomplete without
it.Shisha smokers are at risk of heart disease, respiratory
problems, various cancer types & in women, possible
problems in pregnancy.
Is herbal #Shisha safe? NO. It is not. Shisha, whether
herbal/not, usually contains tobacco & that is the cause of
many medical issues.And even if u find a tobacco-free
#Shisha, the smoke u inhale from the wood/charcoal
contains Carbon monoxide that destroys the lungs.
Are fruit-based #Shisha safe? NO as well. Whether
fruitbased or not, Shisha contains tobacco rich in smoke
containing many toxins.
Also before You start feeling "This #Shisha talk is none of
my business", do u frequently visit bars/clubs where
there's a lot of Shisha smoking? If u go to bars/clubs with
friends where there's lots of #Shisha smoking, u are a
secondary smoker, even if the tube isnt in your mouth.
Shisha tobacco and smoke are medically known to
contain carcinogenic agents that may cause lung cancer,
oral cancer & bladder cancer. Babies born to pregnant
women who smoke #Shisha weigh less at birth & are at
higher risk of respiratory problems, than other babies.
The American Lung Association, the British Heart
Foundation and the W.H.O all say that #Shisha smoking
is medically harmful to smokers.
So after saying all the harmful consequences of #Shisha
smoking, the solution is to STOP smoking. Let me give
simple tips that may help.
1. Make up your mind to stop. That's the first step & the
most important step. Be determined to stop, even if u fail
at first.
2 Try to avoid friends, occasions, bars & parties where u
know u wont be able to say no to smoking. Think of ur
health & stay determined
3 Always remember smoking, or drinking, is not
synonymous to "class" or "being rich". It is ignorant
people that reason that way.
4 Cut down on alcohol. It has been found that some types
of alcohol eg beer, usually makes smoking taste so good.
Just stay away.
5 Identify times u crave #Shisha. Try to distract yourself.
Walk away. Dance. Go online. Chew a gum. Make a call.
Anything else but smoke.
6 Make friends with non smokers. That way u reduce
temptation. Never envy smokers/see smoking as
somethin u miss. Only think of ur health

Unexpected Health And Beauty Benefits Of Sex
Some of us are so devoted to our personal fountain of youth, we invest small fortunes into overflowing bathrooms filled with lotions and potions, visits to trainers, doctors, nutritionists and healers… whatever it takes to find the miracles that will give us smoother skin, fuller hair, less aches and pains, reduce terminal illness risk and just overall, make us feel awesome. Well as it turns out, the secret to youth, might just be right between the sheets: sex!
That's right. Sure, sex feels good, can make you fall more deeply in love, sometimes makes you want to wear a naughty nurse's outfit, you get the picture. But sex is also proven to be good for you, physically. An active sex regimen, a prescription of 2-3 times per week, has fascinating and evidenced-based benefits. Therefore if sex has become a non-priority in your life, you may want to reconsider putting at the top of your "to do" list, because not only could sexcapading result in stronger teeth, it could actually save your life.
Here are 16 health and beauty benefits we reap from having sex:
1. Keeps our skin young and healthy. Sex increases blood circulation, which helps pump oxygen to our skin resulting in a brighter appearance—which explains that after-sex glow. Regular sexual engagement has prolonged effects in this regard and can actually make us look younger. Sex boosts our natural collagen production, which staves off age spots and sagging. So simply put, more wrinkles in the bed = fewer wrinkles on your face!
2. Boosts immunity. You know the old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"? Turns out there was a typo in that medical journal. It should have said, "Having sex once or twice a week increases levels of an antibody called immunoglobin A (that's the stuff that fights off colds and other infections), which really keeps the doctor away!" Deduction: more sex means a stronger immune system. And with all of those unused sick days, we can cash them out and use them as sex days. Now we're talking!
3. Gives us great hair. Hormones not only control our sex drives, but also the condition of our hair. Research has shown that a satisfying sex life results in healthy, lush hair due to the body's increased ability to receive and metabolize nutrients efficiently. Proof positive that Angelina Jolie and Catherina Zeta-Jones have healthy sex lives!
Increase your sexcapades!
I get it. Sex can easily get deprioritized in your life when your life is overtaken by seemingly more important stuff like your fabulous job, a packed social calendar, raising superstar kids, arms length errand lists and so on and so on. But, to take advantage of all of the health and beauty benefits that come with sex, you can't just be thinking about it, you have to be doing it!
Thus, it is time to reprioritize your busy life and start putting sex at the tippity top of your to do list. Get creative—consider morning sex if you are zonked in the evenings, remember that quickies totally count, try putting sex right smack dab in the middle of your fave weekly Tivo'd TV show. If need be, pull out your calendar and schedule a couple times a week to get you started. And remember, the more you do it, the more you will likely want it.
Within 7 days I want you to:
Create a seduction sanctuary.
To make sex a routine activity in your life, you need a space that inspires the act. Start with the basics:
1. Get rid of all the clutter in your bedroom. Think a Zen-like haven here—a grown-ups only environment where you can retreat to unwind and relax. Clutter creates anxiety; an uncluttered space will help create the relaxation that precedes passion and seduction.
2. Get a lock for your door if you have kids.
3. Buy a set of luscious linens—high quality thread count and a color that is appealing to you and your spouse.
4. Swap out harsh reading light for soft lighting that helps you look amazing in the flesh.
5. Scatter scented candles around in easy to reach places. Scents such as basil, jasmine, lavender and vanilla all ignite sexual senses.
6. Invest in an iPod dock and create a variety of in-the-mood playlists.
7. Stock your nightstand with massage oils, lotions and other goodies that excite you.
By the end of the challenge I want you to:
Invest in your sex life.
Like all health and beauty regimens, maintaining a happy, healthy sex life is a lifelong commitment, not a one-time quick-fix program. And just like the others, this one to has to stay interesting so we don't lose steam. To ensure you don't hit a sexpiration date, don't be scared to consider purchasing sex toys, from everyday vibrators to silly games to exotic role playing toys like wigs or costumes. Invest in books that teach you new styles of lovemaking. Experiment with new oils, scents and textures to enhance your experiences. Be as creative as you can be to keep your routine as alive and energized as possible. After all, since you are going to be having so much more sex, you need to ensure that it is going to stay spicy!
Mother arrested for trying to “beat the gay out” of her son
A North Carolina woman who allegedly attempted to “beat the gay” out of her teenage son is facing child abuse charges, police report.
Responding to a 911 call, a cop arrived last Saturday evening to the Whiteville residence Mary Gowans, 41, shares with her children. An officer noted there “was yelling and screaming from several subjects outside the house.”
According to a Whiteville Police Department report, the teenager told an officer that Gowans, seen at right, had instructed his younger brother to “strike him repeatedly and he was instructed not to fight back.”
The victim told police that his mother then made him strip to his underwear and “proceeded to strike him with a belt across his body.” The brothers told police that their mother “stated that she was going to beat the gay out of him.”
Gowans also allegedly struck the victim “with a stick that left a large abrasion on his left shoulder.” The victim’s injuries were photographed after the he was transported to the office of a magistrate.
Free on bond, Gowans is scheduled for an October 9 District Court hearing in the child abuse case. She was previously busted this year for assault and battery and, following the abuse bust, was collared for driving without a license and driving with a child in the car’s front seat.

Stranded Boko Haram militants slaughter members for food in Borno forest
Mallam Momodu Bukar, a suspected member of the outlawed sect told newsmen on Saturday in Maiduguri that he fled the camp at the forest on Thursday when he could no longer cope with the situation.
“I thank God that I escaped because I would have been slaughtered by now to provide meal for my colleagues at the camp,” Bukar said.
According to him, he was captured by a youth vigilante group, popularly known as the civilian JTF at Baga Road motor park, Maiduguri, on Friday.
He said, the extremists had been in the forest since May, when they were dislodged from Marte, Marte Local Government Area, by the Joint Task Force on Operation Restore Order after the declaration of the state of emergency.
“Our group, consisting of about 300 well-armed combatants, headed for Magumeri on the orders of the sect leader, Abubakar Shekau, shortly before the military took over Marte Camp.
“We have been wandering in the forest. We have exhausted our food and water supply, and so, everybody became hungry,” he said.
He said, “It all started last Monday when three of the combatants in camp died of acute hunger, and it became obvious that all of us will die if action was not taken. The leader of the group, Abu Omar, directed that a non-combatant member be slaughtered to provide meal for the rest.
“The meat provided meal for the combatant for just two days and another person was killed in the same manner on Wednesday. So, it became certain that I might be the next person since I am also a non-combatant member.”
The suspected militant fled the forest after he volunteered to help search for drinking water for the group in a nearby village.
“I left the camp on Thursday evening after agreeing to fetch water from the village. After leaving the camp, I started running until I arrived at Magumeri town, so, I slept in the motor park before boarding a vehicle to Maiduguri with the little money on me.” he said.
An official of the vigilante group, Mallam Ajid Asheik, said the suspect would be handed to the Joint Task Force on Operation Restore Order for investigation.

Article:Social media may yet change governance in Africa by Atiku
But the reality is that over the last months, I have learned that the positives of social media participation far outweigh the negatives.
Social media is where young people, the bulk of Nigeria’s population, gather to share their thoughts, often venting their frustrations with the inefficiencies of the country.
I may not always like what is written about me; indeed some commenters could be very insulting. Our society has always been one where older people expect a lot of respect from younger people, so the relative equality of voice that social media provides may shock newcomers to the platforms.
Overall, social media has allowed me to listen a diverse array of Nigerian voices without filters.
I am going to guess that colleagues in public service may see social media as a threat, and indeed seek to censor social media networks. But I think such an attempt would be a mistake.

Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller(Michael Scofield) comes out as gay
41 years old Michael Scofield in Prison Break came out as a gay man recently via an open letter to the Saint Petersburg Film Festival, rejecting an invitation to attend a premiere there because of Russia's recently-passed anti-gay laws.
The actor wrote:
Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline.
I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government. The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.
Perhaps, when and if circumstances improve, I'll be free to make a different choice.
Until then. Wentworth Miller
