Option B-Tobacco use increases the patient's concurrent risk of heart disease.

Several plants in the Solanaceae family genus Nicotiana go by the common name "tobacco," which is also the name for any product made from the cured leaves of these plants. N. tabacum is the most important commercial crop out of the more than 70 species of tobacco known. Some nations also employ the more powerful variety N. Rustica.

As well as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and shishas, dried tobacco leaves are mostly used for smoking. Additionally, they are available for snuff, dipping, chewing, and snus use.

Besides harmala alkaloids, tobacco also contains nicotine, a stimulant that is extremely addictive. Many fatal diseases, notably those that affect the heart, liver, and lungs, are caused by or at risk due to tobacco smoking.

Ronch [10]

Answer: your bag will finish at 2112.

Explanation: (38gtt/min) × (10gtt/ml).

Cross multiply. (38gtt×1ml) × (1min×10gtt)

This gives you 38/10...and the gtts cancel out so, it's 38ml/10min.

Simplify this to 3.8 ml/min.

Now, 3.8ml/x min = 500 ml.

Take 500/3.8. This gives you about 132 minutes if you round to the nearest minute. 60 min/he means 132 min = 2h12m. 2h12m from 1900 is 2112.

Is there a difference between anxiety attacks and panic attacks?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Yes, a subtle one.

Explanation:

Symptoms of a panic attack are intense and disruptive. They often involve a sense of “unreality” and detachment. Anxiety symptoms vary in intensity, from mild to severe. Panic attacks appear suddenly, while anxiety symptoms become gradually more intense over minutes, hours, or days.

...

Now here's my take on it ( I have severe anxiety).

While Anxiety attacks take time to build up, panic attacks come out of nowhere (one moment you're fine, the next you can't breathe)
