Smokers who cut back puff harder in study
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine shows smokers who cut back inhale more deeply and more often, tripling toxins per cigarette and undermining health gains. Researchers say quitting is best, then reducing cigarettes or switching to ultra low yield brands, while avoiding deeper puffing.

Snorers Have Narrower Throats Say Researchers
Boston researchers report snorers show significantly narrower throats than quiet sleepers, linking anatomy to turbulent airflow and mouth vibrations. The study, comparing 16 snorers with 9 sound sleepers, notes throat size reductions common in many snorers and acknowledges other factors like tongue size and nasal obstructions. Obstructive sleep apnea sufferers also show narrow throats and floppy airways, with some improvements possible through surgery removing excess soft palate tissue.
