The answer is The Taking of any drug in a manner that can cause Psychological or physical dependence
That's when we become an addict. Drug abuse is a serious problem that affect almost every community. Many resulted in death. Often time, the victims of drug abuse have a deep underlying unsatisfaction in some areas of their live and do it to relief the unsatisfaction
The main thing would be to not smoke. But also if you are around someone who smokes, try to limit interaction with them while they are smoking. second hand smoke can be just as deadly. Also doing things like using smoke free facilities, like smoke free hotel rooms and restaurants.
I think it is natural selection. genetic variation also could be a factor for physical variation over the years.

Hey there! Hello!
So, I actually find myself to be pretty keen on this topic, since my grandmother is an Ayurvedic practitioner and owns her own massage/Ayurvedic center. She also has a school in the state of Florida that teaches others how to be licensed Ayurvedic practitioners, as well!
Ayurvedic medicine has all kinds of forms, from herbal blends to essential oils that can either be formulated to a particular person or can be purchased by general dosha (kapha, vata, pitta, or tri-doshic). My family is caucasian and was born in America, and we have no Indian roots (that I know of). One thing that's recommended (and in some cases, required) is that someone who practices Ayurvedic medicine be trained and have a license to assure that no misuse of herbs/oils will take place, since they can sometimes conflict with any prescribed medicine someone receives from the doctors, or with things like pregnancy. Though I don't know which school, my grandmother did receive her Ayurvedic education here in America.
Anyone who wants to learn more about Ayurveda in general should, at the very least, have an appreciation for it. The person does not necessarily have to be Indian, or any ethnicity in particular, to enjoy and respect Ayurveda and what it has to offer. My grandmother is one of these people who appreciates it, which is why she went to school to learn how to teach others about it.
I hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)
