  7. What about more obscure ways to damage your DNA on Smoking Permanently Damages Your DNA, Study Finds (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 0

    Lots of research related to how smoking affects you in many ways. And DNA "damages" is a scary thing. But what about eating processed food and drinking sodas on a daily base? What about sitting all day long watching TV? Smokers should have understood by now that the cigarette is bad for health, on many angles. But research about other behaviors likely detrimental to DNA would be also interesting.
