DESCRIPTION: A competing risks analysis of the Harvard Nurse's Health Study compares the danger of smoking cigarettes to the danger of animal product consumption (cholesterol) and the benefits of plant foods (fiber) to the benefits of exercise. Similar comparisons have been made between the risk of smoking and eating processed meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prevention-is-better-than-cured-meat/), cell phone use and processed meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-cell-phones-cause-cancer/), and Hot Dogs & Leukemia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hot-dogs-leukemia/). Though healthy eating may help mediate the devastating effects of smoking [see Smoking Versus Kale Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/smoking-versus-kale-juice/), Preventing COPD With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-copd-with-diet/), and Treating COPD With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-copd-with-diet/)], if you do smoke, please stop. As a physician, I've just seen too many good people die horrible deaths from cigarettes. Please refer to NutritionFacts.org for 38 other videos on nuts (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/nuts/), 32 videos on exercise (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/exercise/), 25 videos on fiber (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/fiber/), 5 videos on oats (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/oats/), and hundreds of videos on a thousand other topics at (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).
