Smoking causes a number of diseases which can lead to death. Heart disease is the most obvious one and incidentally it is the leading cause of death in many developed countries, including Singapore. Smoking is not only dangerous for the heart nut also the other organs such as the lungs and liver and this can lead to irreversible damage and even death.
Why is smoking so dangerous?
Well, cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemical compounds, 200 of which are known to be poisonous and upwards of 60 have been identified as carcinogens. In that respect, it’s no wonder the effects of smoking are so widespread and destructive.

Impotence- new herbal cures?
There are many claims made in this area of research, but my own experience is that until any natural herbal remedy has been properly tested in clinical trails you should stay well clear of it.
Most recently there is chatter about a group of German researchers working on a plant extract that cures erectile dysfunction which may be available next year! Next year is a long way off for any man who suffers from impotence.
There is only one clinically tested plant extract to-date which is clinically tested and successful for over 80% of all men who take it, that is Butea Superba. Readily available in pill form under the brand name HealthyED, details of the trials can be found http://www.HealthyED.co.uk Compared to other tests on prescription drugs (such as the little blue pill) which indicate success levels for around 50% of users, this makes natural solutions and impotence cures such as HealthyEd with an 84% success rate, look like an very attractive alternative to taking prescription drugs.
The main ingredient in HealthyED pills is the plant extract Butea Superba. The plant is widely available throughout Thailand where men wishing to increase their flagging libido can buy the ground down plant in powder form at the market place. They more often than not use it to cook with or simply add it directly onto their food like a dressing. The Thai government realising the potential took control of the growing of Butea and now it can only be grown under government license. Exports are strictly monitored and it would appear HealthyED are the only company in the West of the globe selling the ground down plant extract in pill form.
I have read the information supplied on the HealthyEd site and the evidence in favour of Butea over prescription drugs supplied by your local GP is compelling. With such high success rates who could question them?
