It was an injury unlike any Dr. Elisha Brownson had seen — a young man whose teeth were blown out when his electronic cigarette exploded in his mouth. His injuries were so severe he was admitted to the trauma intensive care unit.

“I had never heard of an injury mechanism like this before,” said Brownson, a surgeon who specializes in treating people with burns. The patient “left a gruesome impression on me.”

I hope you feel better now JIm but, guess what?

You still have an expiration date somewhere down the road.

I asked my doctor, "If I give up wine, women and tobacco, will I live
longer?"

He said; "NO, it will just seem

longer"
