Health consequences

Pre-human and human inhaled smoke during their adaptation to the use of fire for 2.5 million years. Smoke from fire fumigated environment of human habitat, let rid of parasites and created the brand new balance in microfloral makeup, rebuild immune system, impacted on physiology (loss of hair/fur cover, exposed skin as the new organ), lungs’ CO2 intake, their unparalleled self-cleaning features and, as result, on cultural behaviour which made us Human. Addiction to natural fire, its’ light and heat, lasted up to the mid-20th century. It was the most profound for evolutionary changes period of the Human’ biological development. The wide spread of the habit of smoking tobacco coincided with the introduction of electricity as compensation for the decline of the natural smoke of fire in the environment. Inhaling smoke is anthropologically normal and biologically vital. Even a few smokers in the modern population represent valuable micro biological reservoirs for others. Deficiency in biological makeup or lack of balance in bio floral patterns can bring severe risks to human health. When we were living with smoke for 2.5 million years (only proven time) and somebody tells you “it is not good, please stop”, remember that consequences should be the same as – if you did not inhaled smoke for 2.5 million years - and somebody tells you today “you must smoke and inhale smoke”. We can see that many people are trying “to cut corners” or even hacking in their participation in further natural selection. It is sad and very dangerous. Not the inhaling of smoke but uneducated paranoiacs are going to endanger humanity. V.breskin (talk) 01:45, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
