There are four types of heat loss mechanisms: radiation, convection, conduction and evaporation.
Radiation is transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves through space
Conduction is a process by which heat is transferred from the hot area of a solid object to the cool area.
Convection is a process by which heat is transferred from one part of a
fluid (liquid or gas) to another by the bulk movement of the fluid
itself.
Evaporation - when sweating promotes heat loss.

A first degree burn would be the immediate reaction
This is really a subjective answer. If given the choice to either give the lung to a six-year old lung cancer patient or the heavy smoker, I would choose the six-year old.
If I had to choose between car crash victim on a lung machine or the heavy smoker, I would choose the car crash victim.
If I had to choose between this heavy smoker and a young smoker that developed lung cancer, I would choose the young smoker and hope that he/she would change his/her habits and quit.
I bet you're starting to see the point I'm making. Hope this helps!
The answer is d, abusing drugs and alcohol.
