The document argues that smoking should be banned in all public places because secondhand smoke contains toxic chemicals that are known to cause cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems, with no safe level of exposure. It asserts that a smoker's choice to harm their own health should not impact others, and that banning public smoking is not taking away their rights, as people still have the freedom to smoke in private spaces.

Harmful Effects Of Smoking
Smoking can cause serious lung and heart diseases. Lung cancer is caused in 9 out of 10 cases by smoking according to experts. Smoking also increases the risks of heart attack and stroke, with over 26 million men and nearly 21 million women in the US being smokers. Many people start smoking due to imitating others like friends, family or celebrities. Parents and schools should educate children about the harms of smoking and encourage good habits. Governments should increase taxes on cigarettes and media should spread more anti-smoking awareness messages.
Safety at workplace
Safety at the workplace requires awareness of both unsafe acts and unsafe conditions. Common safety issues include slips, trips, and falls which can be prevented through proper lifting techniques and clear walkways. It is important to notify supervisors of any potential hazards, follow safety procedures, and report any issues or accidents. Basic safety signs use distinctive shapes, colors and symbols to clearly communicate important safety information.
Alcohol
- The document discusses the harmful effects of alcohol on health, including its impact as a depressant on the brain and nervous system, short and long term health risks, and damage to the liver over time.
- Long term alcohol abuse can seriously damage the liver, potentially causing cirrhosis or scarring of the liver tissue and preventing it from functioning properly.
- Alcoholism is characterized as both a physical and psychological dependence on alcohol that can impair one's ability to work, study, and socialize normally.
Smoking
Tobacco use is a major public health problem that kills over 5 million people worldwide each year. In Sudan, smoking prevalence among males is around 24% compared to only 2% among females. There are effective tobacco control strategies available through the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) including tax increases, advertising bans, smoke-free laws, health warnings on packages, and cessation support. Quitting tobacco has significant health, economic, and social benefits for individuals and their families.
Health And Safety Induction
The document outlines employers' and employees' health and safety duties and responsibilities under UK law. It explains that employers must protect employees' health and safety through measures like risk assessments, safety policies, training, and personal protective equipment if needed. Employees must follow safety instructions and report any hazards. Accidents must be reported, and some are legally required to be recorded. The Health and Safety Executive enforces these regulations through inspections and potential penalties.
Hse alert 21 2017 driving in fog
Only drive if you have to: If you wake up to a thick blanket of fog then the best thing to do is to wait! Don’t start your journey if the fog is too thick and you cannot see more than 4 car lengths in front of you.
Use low-beam headlights: When visibility is restricted, a driver’s natural tendency is to activate the high-beam headlights. Never use your high-beam lights. Using high beam lights causes glare, making it more difficult for you to see what’s ahead of you on the road.
Use fog lights: If your vehicle has front fog lights, they can help illuminate the road and make your vehicle more visible to other drivers. Some vehicles have rear fog lights, which help motorists who are following you to see your vehicle from a greater distance.
Do NOT drive with your hazard lights on: There is a lot of confusion when it comes to driving with your hazard lights on in fog. Some people do it to make themselves more visible, which is a good intention, but not wise and can cause an accident. Hazard lights are designed to warn other motorists that you are stationary.
Use defogger for front and rear windows: When it’s foggy it likely to be cold which means that condensation may build up on the inside of your car. This will affect your visibility even more. Turn on your car heater or defogger, it will help keep your windows clear.
Listen: Turn your radio off and open your window a little. Listen carefully to your environment outside of the car. You may hear another vehicle that you can’t see, or you may hear something or someone warning you to stop. You’ll be driving at a reduced speed so wind noise won’t be too much of a problem with the window down.
Slow down: If you cannot see where you are going, do not drive fast. Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination. Use your speedometer as a guide to regulate your speed, because thick fog masks the sensation of speed by removing visual indicators of velocity.
Keep your distance: Don’t get too close to the car in front. If he has to stop sharply then you could crash into him. Stay well back.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Smoking should be banned in all public places
- 1. Smoking should be banned in all public places. A smoker's (poor) choice should not affect the health of others. Secondhand smoke contains hundreds of toxic chemicals including arsenic ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, benzene, and vinyl chloride. It is known to cause cancer, coronary heart disease, and respiratory problems. There is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Non smokers should not be subjected to this disgusting habit. Wanting to ban smoking in public places isn't about taking away a smoker's rights. You will still have the right to smoke in your own space. The right to slowly and deliberately harm others was never yours to begin with.
