    Here are the symptoms:
    "Symptoms of Buerger's Disease occur as a result of inadequate blood supply to the tissues and include tenderness or pain in the feet or hands during exercise (claudication), or when at rest. Other possible symptoms include tingling and/or numbness in the limbs, and Raynaud's phenomenon.

    Eventually damage and destruction of tissue can occur and this may lead to ulcers in the skin, and gangrene."

    If you feel any of that, see a doctor. There is NO cure, so don't get it. This is what happens:

    "If an affected individual continues to smoke they're very likely to need amputation of toes and/or fingers. Infections should be treated promptly."

    • Smoking is a waste of money, and medical costs to treat you are a far bigger waste. Video games are FAR more worth it than smokes. I don't care if they're rated E or M, playing video games is healthier than smoking. For sure!

    • Amen. I'll take an hour of Counter-Strike: Source over a cig any day. Although, enough video games can be more depressing than enough smokes... you read the story about that guy who played 1 week straight of WoW then died?
