What is the difference between tortuous and torturous?
Both tortuous and torturous come from a Latin word torquere, which means 'to twist'. Tortuous continues to mean 'full of twists, turns; twisted, winding'. However, torturous is a derivative of torture and means 'involving or causing torture; painful, tormenting'. The best way to remember the difference, then, is the tortur at the beginning of torturous.Both of you tortured me...

Facts About Smoking
Hurting Yourself
Smoking is an addiction. Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, a drug that is addictive and can make it very hard, but not impossible, to quit. (AS IF)

Hurting Others
Smoking harms not just the smoker, but also family members, coworkers and others who breathe the smoker's cigarette smoke, called secondhand smoke.(MY SON; NO WAY)

If both parents smoke, a teenager is more than twice as likely to smoke than a young person whose parents are both non-smokers. In households where only one parent smokes, young people are also more likely to start smoking.

Why Quit?
Quitting smoking makes a difference right away - you can taste and smell food better. Your breath smells better. Your cough goes away. This happens for men and women of all ages, even those who are older. It happens for healthy people as well as those who already have a disease or condition caused by smoking.

Quitting smoking cuts the risk of lung cancer, many other cancers, heart disease, stroke, other lung diseases, and other respiratory illnesses.
