Steroids vs Cigarettes Pt.1?
Are steroids bad? Are cigarettes bad? Is there any medical proof from a doctor or specific university on steroids (not testosterone cultures in a plate) that indicate thier addictiveness or lethality.
Do cigarettes kill or cause any health problems? Do steroids kill or cause any health problems?
Is there any medicinal or medical use for nicotine or tobacco products that can be beneficial to ones health? Are steroids used medicinally for medical purposes? Do steroids do anything positive physiologically or health wise?
Are steroids legal or illegal? Are cigarettes legal, if so can they be bought in mass or is there any limit to how many cigarettes you can by?
Are people who smoke aware of the health risks do you think? Do you believe that people who use steroids are aware of the health risks?
Are cigarettes any less lethal or addictive than cigarettes?
Dose anyone see the irony here? Check out Pt. 2 here I compare the horrible supplemtn to liquor and alchohol.
This is a question, not random rant. And 'no' cigarettes do not make your balls shrink, however if you enjoy emphysema or asthma that's a great side effect of smoking. After all, why would I want somthing temporary like testicular atrophy, when I can have something much more meaningful and permenant like cancer.

Fascinating, is this a question or a random rant?

I completely agree with you, both as a new doctor, and as an avid fitness guru LOL.
There is absolutely no competition whatsoever in lethality with regard to cigarettes. In-fact, a majority of the patients I see on a daily basis both in the ER and in the Internal Medicine Clinic are smokers. They come in with chest pain, painful cough’s, weezing, virtigo and dizziness. Some of the individuals I’ve seen have been coughing up blood, others vomiting what they’ve said looked like “anti-freeze”.
Nope, can’t say that I’ve seen very many muscle bound top athletic competitors or bodybuilders here. Although every once in a while one will come by to have a standard physical, lab work and heart x-ray done. But, most are in better health than olympic athletes.

Cigarettes have killed MANY more people than steroids ever have. In fact deaths which can be directly connected to steroid use are very few indeed. But the politicians will never outlaw cigarettes because they receive large campaign contributions from the tobacco companies, whereas the steroid producers don’t give them a dime.
