Q. what is the statistic of smoking people , let say , people who smoked for almost 30 years , to get a lung cancer or any other diseases related to smoking ? will they be in a risk group ? what are the variable of thing like that ?

A. although it is REALLY proven that smoking is correlated with higher incidence of lung cancer (and other diseases), but there are also a lot of smokers who are "healthy" where they don't have any complain or any manifested diseases.

Compared to nonsmokers, men who smoke are about 23 times more likely to develop lung cancer and women who smoke are about 13 times more likely. Smoking causes about 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and almost 80% in women.

But I still remember clearly when I was in medical school, that my professor told me 90% cause of lung cancer is smoking, BUT 90% smokers all around this world don't have lung cancer, hehehe.. ironic, isn't it?

Q. Anyone can…..let me know…. I know that vomiting and nausea is sure for pregnancy and eager to know how early it can come? Anyone can…..let me know….

A. vomiting and nausea usually comes as a probable symptom of a pregnancy, though it might vary in every pregnant moms.
it is normal happening in first trimester of pregnancy. usually it fades away when a pregnant mom enters second trimester (after 14-16 weeks). It can start as early as 2-4 weeks of pregnancy, and many studies believe that HCG is the responsible hormone for this change.

In case the nausea and vomiting is so bad, a pregnant mom should always consult with her Obgyn doctor.

Good luck in the pregnancy! and stay healthy always..
