Jacob Rickards current event 9/17/10

In the article "Overweight smoker? Deafness could be on the horizon" is a very interesting article. This article explains if you are over weight and smoking, there is a chance that that person has a chance to become deaf. In a cross- European study, it researched a total of 4,083 men and women who were in between the ages of 53 to 67. This research concluded that people who are over weight and around these ages and that smoke and are over have a higher chance of becoming deaf than a person who do not. As a result of this risk maybe people will second guess those fries and taking a puff off of that cigarette.
In my opinion this article was very interesting. With all of the diseases out there for being over weight and smoking, this is basically putting a cherry on top of the overweight-smoker sundae of todays society. In fact, this might give another reason for an overweight smoker to hit the tred mill and start loosing weight. This might motivate somebody to change their ways so this won't be a problem for them in the future. In conclusion, with all the diseases out there for being overweight and being a smoker in the later years of your life; this is another reason to stay away from cigarettes and to stay healthy. For the sake of your hearing in the future, stay away from bad foods and cigarettes!
