The last 2 lessons were about lifestyle choices regarding drinking, smoking and sexual activity. After reading through the material, were you surprised by how dramatic your health could improve if you quit smoking? In regards to drinking, often times we don’t realize that we might have a problem until something serious happens. Lab 13.1 could be an eye opener for many people who consider themselves “social drinkers.” What steps, if any, will you take to modify your behavior?

I don’t smoke or drink socially or recreationally. I don’t think it should come as a surprise to anyone at this point the harm that smoking can do to one’s health. I believe putting the label “social” before a habit or activity is just as unhealthy as the actual habit. It’s almost as if the habit is accepted more because of the label. If someone smokes and/or drinks, they smoke and/or drink. The frequency or audience doesn’t change that. Being aware of a habit is healthier than covering up the fact with a label. I feel like it can be managed better.

These do not really apply to me. I have never smoke, as just the smell of the smoke makes me cough.I try to limit my time around people that smoke as I do not enjoy smelling like smoke, breathing in the smoke, or just seeing the disgusting behavior.
I am not a drinker, I MAYBE have one drink a month. My friends hassle me because I’m one to never finish a beer when we go out. It’s just not appealing to me, and it’s too expensive.
