How does smoking cause heart disease?
Thrasymachus asked:
I’ve heard that smoking causes heart disease. I understand lung cancer is caused by mutations the genetic code of structures such as the alveoli, but I’m not too clear on how smoking may contribute to heart disease. Of course, as a stimulant that taxes the heart and lungs, nicotine may not exactly be the most healthful thing affecting the cardiovascular system, but no one blames caffeine for their cardiovascular maladies. What’s the deal with smokes and heart disease?

Can chipped mugs cause heart disease?
Kins M asked:
I work in cafe and a woman refused to take a cup of coffee the other day due to a small chip in the rim (the last mug in the whole shop on a bank holiday!!). She seemed very concerned we had a chipped mug and insisted we told our boss that chipped mugs cause heart disease. I really can’t see any reason for it to cause heart disease specifically!
Anyone out there capable of enlightening me?
