Why do Smoking blacken Lips ???


On smoking nicotine enters into the blood & acts as chemical stimulator to accelerate the process of melanin deposition in skin.This increased quantity of melanin imparts a greyish black hue to the skin.Skin, teeth, gums, nails, lungs get stained too but facial region being more sensitive, the effect is prominent.
THE DAMAGE RENDERED TO THE SKIN DOESN'T REVERT EVEN AFTER QUITTING SMOKING !!!

Tomato Vaccine


Genetically modified tomatoes will soon be used to combat HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV).
The primary objective is to make affordable vaccines that can be easily processed in the countries most affected by the killer viruses.
Researchers at the Siberian Institute of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry in Russia used a soil bacterium to ‘shuttle’ a synthetic combination of HIV and HBV DNA fragments into tomato plants, which in turn manufacture proteins.
When they are eaten, these proteins help the body create antibodies against the viruses.

Say NO to Smoking otherwise...
