sponsible for filtering and cleaning the lungs. They slow down respiratory output and irritate the mucus membranes, causing coughs, infections and chronic bronchitis.
As the cilia are blocked (see paragraph above), the tars in the cigarette smoke are deposited and collect on the walls of the respiratory tract and the lungs, and cause them to turn black. So, just because a smoker is not coughing, it doesn’t mean that he or she is healthy! And this fact merely serves to pour water on one of the most common and poorest excuses given by smokers. The carcinogenic action of the tars is well known: they are responsible for 95% of lung cancers. It takes two days at least after cessation of smoking for the cilia to start functioning properly again, albeit only gradually. By smoking one packet of cigarettes every day, a smoker is pouring a cupful of these tars into his or her lungs every year (225 grams on average)!

The largest Snowdome in the world, containing the world's third largest Indoor Ski Slope, has opened in the Gulf Emirate of Dubai.
Ski Dubai, 85m high by 80m wide, has to cope with average outside winter temperatures of 25C and summer temperatures soaring above 40C.
The temperature inside is maintained at -1 or -2C. Arabs who prefer to wear their traditional kandouras can hire black, knee-length padded coats.
The 22,500sq/m of piste are covered with 6,000 metric tons of manufactured snow all year round. The $272m resort is the latest project in the emirate which is seeking to become a major tourism hub.
“Snow in the desert is such a Unique experience for locals who have never seen snow,” said Ski Dubai’s chief executive, Phil Taylor.
