As we celebrate WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY today, Web Watch would like to point out a RECENT SMOKING-RELATED SURVEY that came out that said that 80% of male smokers surveyed would prefer to date a non-smoker.

Autism is one of those conditions whose cause has been difficult to find.
Some parents of autistic children and other autism advocates — as many as one in four parents — have said that CHILDREN’S VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM. Since that original 1998 report proposing that there was a link between vaccination shots and autism came out, further studies since then have SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THAT NO SUCH LINK EXISTS.
After yesterday’s WEB WATCH post about the percentage of herpes infections in the US, we received a few questions about one of the CDC’s survey results that stated that more women than men suffered from herpes.
The question? “Why?”
While we know some men can be sleeping around with more than one partner, that certainly doesn’t mean that men are the sole means that the herpes virus can get spread around.
Leave it to more scientific studies to help Web Watch out when we need to know more about herpes in just a few days than we ever thought was reasonable.
Web Watch was reading a CNN article the other day that shows how important it is to (a) have a good, gripping headline to draw a reader into a story; and (b) a phenomenal opening paragraph that lays out exactly what the story is about.
These are two rules that every aspiring news reporter should try to follow with every story that they file.
Case in point, the CNN article in question: THE DOWNSIDE OF “FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS”.
It’s been commonly reported that MEN THINK ABOUT SEX EVERY SEVEN SECONDS. But that’s not the only thing that scientists have proven about how men’s brains work.
If you consider these following ten items and compare them to what you know about the men in your life, you may be surprised about what is going on inside that noggin. Here are TEN THINGS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT A MAN’S BRAIN:
Doctors in England have released a report where they are calling for a BOYCOTT OF SMOKING IN CARS BY PARENTS WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT.
The Royal College of Physicians are claiming that over 22,000 cases of asthma and wheezing in children are being caused by exposure to secondhand smoke, resulting in 9,500 hospital admissions.
The study also shows that one-in-five infants that die from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) is caused by secondhand smoke – about 40 infants per year.
It may be hard to believe, but scientists have proven that there is a disease called SEXUAL ANOREXIA, where they’ve shown that NOT HAVING ENOUGH SEX CAN BE BAD FOR YOU.
