yo
where im from, some drugs are positive.

like, I take medication for A.D.D. and it is definitely a beneficial thing.

so when you use a term like "drugs" here, it really doesn't make any sense to me.

Well I take them to change my mind-state, and that is essentially what getting "high" is.

That's exactly why we take them. It is a stimulant for focusing. It DEFINITELY alters some things. Please go around and tell people diagnosed with A.D.D on medication that their life span got lowered 30 years. They will tell you how smart you are.
Notes and feelings, numbers and reason. The ultimate equilibrium.

Are you trying to imply something?

If the answer is "nothing, their lives just sucked", then how do you respond ?

Why would you make a statement about drugs like this if you have no experience in the matter? Maybe you shouldn't blindly follow what they teach at church.

Noob!
Talking about sex and drugs is normal... they just brainwash you and put you in their own little world for the meantime that they have you there so that they can control what you think about.

Not even scientifically proven.
Smoking one cigarette "takes 7 minutes off your lifespan" due to the fact that it takes around that long to smoke it.
Educate yourself before you make posts like this. ^^


There have been several scientific studies regarding lifestyle and lifespan, here's an interesting one:

1. Max 3 glasses of alcohol a day 1 point
2. No eating between meals 1 point
3. Daily breakfast 1 point
4. Max +/- 20 % ideal weight 1 point
5. Physical excercise (2 x a week) 1 point
6. No smoking 1 point
7. 7 to 8 hours of sleep per 24 hours 1 point

Now, if you're a male, having 0-3 points, the average for your group is 67 years old, while a group of people having 6-7 points average at 78 years. This is a difference of 11 years, note how smoking is a significant factor here. The difference for women is about 7 years though, because of their hormonal protection.


Smoking is often accompanied by other damaging lifestyles so studying it alone is not that easy I suppose. Common sense tells me that if you take 2 groups of people with the only difference in lifestyle regards smoking the average will still significantly differ though. I'm not sure why you deny that smoking takes years off your life, I thought this was pretty much accepted knowledge, hence the warning labels on packs of cigarettes.

edit: Addition after reading Foucault's post I just remembered: Having a steady social network seems to add about 2-3 years as well.

Frits, also positive emotions and "happiness" works as a strong buffer against cardiovascular diseases, cancer and others kinds of illness. Both through a boost to the immune system that positive emotion and a sense of well-being contributes to, and through less negative stress/anxiety, negative emotional states that releases adrenalin and other catecholamines which can be damaging for the body in the long run if constantly activated.

What is "physical exercise" btw? Alot of those factors have statistical importance but not causal. Someone maybe doesn't work out at all during his/her spare time but has a physically demanding job. Someone else maybe doesn't eat breakfast (what time would that be btw?), but eats instead at 11, which maybe doesn't make any real difference in life expectancy.

So if I start eating breakfast every day I can continue to smoke and still get to be 78? Awesome.

No, because you can't apply group averages individually. If you get lung cancer you will still die completely (or survive), 7 was the average, regarding lung cancer the standard deviation could be huge. You could die from a heart attack tomorrow as well which smoking contributed to, it's just that if you take 1000 people chance this becomes irrelevant, kind of like if you throw a coin 3 times it's easy to get the same side 3 in a row while throwing it 100000 times results in a ~.5 average. Not eating breakfast might shorten your life by a few years or not at all. Or maybe neither smoking/breakfast will impact your life, impossible to predict individually.

The only lesson to take from this is that you should get as many points possible from that list.
