The Dangers of ManBearPig
First I want to thank everyone that commented (either online or offline) on last week's posting. It is nice to get feedback.
As some of my readers know I lost my grandpa not too long ago. Well, I didn’t actually lose him. I know roughly where he is. But you know what I mean.
He lived a long life. It makes me wonder how he would have done if he hadn’t been smoking for most of it. I had this in the back of my mind when I found the following statistics….
What happens to your body if you stop smoking RIGHT NOW?
In 20 minutes:
Your blood pressure will return to normal.
In 8 hours:
The carbon monoxide levels in your blood stream will drop by half and the oxygen levels will return to normal.
In 48 hours:
Your chance of having a heart attack will begin its long decline. All nicotine will have left your body.
In 72 hours:
Your bronchial tubes will relax and your over-all energy level will rise.
In 3 – 9 months:
Coughs, wheezing, and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10 %.
In 1 year:
Your risk of having a heart attack will have now dropped by half.
In 5 year:
Your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
In 10 years:
Your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
In 15 years:
Your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
So if you are still smoking…please stop. It is not too late. I want all my readers to live a long and happy life…..even Will.
Now I know some of you just tune in to see what goofy pictures I include. So you can get your fix….here is a picture of ManBearPig…
You heard the beast….now get lost!

I love what you said about smoking. I'm going to share that with someone I love a lot who quit smoking about 2 months ago.
I've seen and heard the difference already, and this will certainly encourage him to keep up the good work.
Love the ManBearPig photo...can you do a ZebraGoatMongoose?
BLUSH=ON
Thanks JB. It is nice to know that I'm making a difference...even a small one. :)
