Why do e-cigarette companies put flavoring in the liquid cartridges?
Sladkaya [172]
I think they put flavoring in the liquid cartridges to make them more addictive. People are going to want the newer flavors because of the taste. Some people use them as coping skills or sometimes to be “trendy” or “cool”. E-cigarettes are very damaging to your lungs worse then regular cigarettes.

Which of the following activities were most likely help Anthony manage the stress level?
just olya [345]
Technically any of these. Are there any other details or specifics. I'd assume participating in sports because a diet only helps stress levels in the long term, watching television can relax a person but the other factors such as lack of social activity can contribute to a person's overall mental state and therefore increase stress levels, and studying can actually be relieving for some people depending on the mental state and needs of them but can obviously be a stresser. The only downfall to participating in sports is getting to excited or emotional during a game for example. But overall, C is the best choice.

Can water in your lungs cause down syndrome in unborn babies
olga_2 [115]
No... Down Syndrome is a chromosome deficiency that happens during conception when a spem and egg fertilize. Sometimes the X and Y Chromosomes don't add up correctly and can (sadly) cause this deficiency. Water in the mother's lungs can cause pneumonia which can potentially harm the fetus due to lack of oxygen. But this cannot cause down Syndrome. Water in the baby's lungs will also not cause Down Syndrome.
