Smoking is an habit that is very difficult to break but yet possess a very damaging effect on the body. It is the major cause of cancer to all part of the body especially the lungs. That is why it’s written on the pack of cigarettes that smokers are liable to die young. Today we want to exploit the hazard one causes to the body when they smoke after meal. Smokers have great urge to smoke after every meal. They says it helps their digestion process, someone told me his balance diet is solid, liquid and gas, meaning without cigarette his digestion process is not complete.

Looking closely, you notice most medical organizations uses it as a symbol. It is sometimes confused for caduceus which some medical organisations also use in North America. Fig 2: caduceus The staff all have their greek history but according to philosophy, I learnt the oldest book in the world is the Bible. So whatever mythology associating a fiery snake upon a pole should be a copy cat. In the Bible, referenced Numbers 21:8-9, Moses a servent of God who was tasked with taking the Isrealite out of Egypt the land they were held captive, to their promised land. On their journey, guess God wanted to teach them faith (read Num 21:4ff for details) so they were inflicted by a fiery serpent that claimed the lives of many. They needed a do...
