13. Smoking Stunts Growth

I have every reason to believe that we could be looking at a thirty year old man in this picture. They say that smoking stunts growth, and he could have been smoking since he was a baby. That would account for the small size. Fact is that you just never know with these old pictures. One thing we do know is that everyone was smoking back in the day, so if it was a kid, I wouldn't be surprised.

Seeing old pictures like this, or especially old movies, I really want to smoke a cigarette. It's terribly obvious how much movies influence me. A character I like just need to smoke once and I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes. Fight the urge, folks. It's not worth it. That cool, refreshing smoke isn't worth it.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
