Does anybody know that van Helzing is a character from Bram Stokers book "Dracula"?

I don't smoke. It's unhealthy, it turns your teeth and fingers yellow, it makes your breath smell bad and if you're a man it causes impotence and if you're a woman it makes your breasts saggy.

propaganda!
increased (several times) risk of lung cancer- I would say yes.
trouble breathing- most definetly!
but impotence? nail pigmentation change? pardon the pun but 'what have you been smoking?!'

P.S. no, I don't smoke. for economic reasons. ( I live off 30$ a week and I have to get to the Uni myself)

As a matter of fact i do, and that's what i had in mind when i wrote that post about van Helsing. I'd die before refering to the horsecrap movie. I didn't know about that non-capital V thing though. Now i do. But i still think it's van Helsing, not van Helzing. :blink:

Edit : To get back on topic and answer a1s' question, yes it's true. I've been smoking for more than 20 years, and i've got yellow teeth, fingertips and i'm impotent. And i think my breasts are starting to sag. Damn ! I should quit ! :ranting:

I don't smoke.
Though I can undersand someone smoking a little, I don't understand how some people manage to get dependant, and don't want to stop. It's a problem to them, and their neibourgs.

The trains I take to go to paris are now tottally non smoking area, that's a real blessing! there were no separation at all, and you breathe smoke during 3 hours :evil:

A Google search turns up quite a bit, and some of it looks awfully official, but if you want to see the evidence for yourself, I suppose you'll need a group of smokers, a group of nonsmokers, and some porn.

I do believe that smoking causes impotence.

I believe George Bush, Jacques Chirac and the Dali Lama have all smoked, and they are some of the most impotent people in the world!
