What Does Smoking Do To Your Body – Bing video
A systematic review of the influence of smoking cessation on prognosis after early-stage lung cancer diagnosis found that five-year survival rates in 65-year-old patients were estimated to be 33% in continuing smokers and 70% in those who stopped.
If you continue to smoke it increases your risk of a secondary cancer immensely.
And by Drinking and smoking together raises the risk of these cancers many times more than drinking or smoking alone. This might be because alcohol can help harmful chemicals in tobacco get inside the cells that line the mouth, throat, and esophagus. Alcohol may also limit how these cells can repair damage to their DNA
caused by the chemicals in tobacco.
Half of my IQ is because of Wilson’s knowledge on Home Improvement.

In memory of Earl Hindman – YouTube

STAMFORD, Conn. — Fans of the popular sitcom “Home Improvement,”
might not recognize Earl Hindman’s face. It was the actor’s voice that would almost always give him away, said his wife of 27 years, the Rev. Molly McGreevy, of St. Francis Episcopal Church in Stamford. “Earl had a very deep voice,” she said. “It was very rich, very warm and very recognizable.”
Mr. Hindman, 61, of Stamford, who died of lung cancer Monday, Dec. 29, at Stamford Hospital, was best known for his role as the wise and eccentric neighbor, Wilson, was on “Home Improvement.” The television series ran for eight years on ABC and starred Tim Allen. On the show, Mr. Hindman’s face was always partially obstructed by the fence that separated his home from that of the sitcom’s main character, Tim “The Toolman” Taylor, played by Allen.
Before “Home Improvement” went off the air in 1999, Mr. Hindman — a Stamford resident since 1976 — commuted back and forth to tapings in Los Angeles. “When they were taping, he’d be in L.A. for two or three weeks, and then he’d be back for about two weeks,” McGreevy said. Before landing the job on “Home Improvement,” Mr. Hindman played Lt. Bob Reed for 14 years on the ABC soap opera, “Ryan’s Hope.”
“He was the kind of actor you depended on,” said Helen Gallagher, one of his “Ryan’s Hope” co-stars. “He was a very steady and very talented actor and such a down-to-earth human being.” Mr. Hindman’s friends and family said yesterday the actor was remarkably unaffected by the relative fame his television work brought him. “He was not impressed with himself — not in the least,” McGreevy said. “He was a person who was never changed by success.”
Even as his acting career flourished, McGreevy said her husband remained a modest man who enjoyed stamp and coin collecting, listening to country music and playing poker with his friends. He also liked to build models from his collection of Erector sets, which he bought on the online auction site, eBay.
Three weeks ago, while undergoing chemotherapy,
Mr. Hindman shared a room with another cancer patient who was an avid
“Home Improvement” fan. “When she heard Earl’s name, she said, ‘Oh my God.
That’s my favorite show,’ ” McGreevy recalled. “We spent the whole rest of the
chemo session laughing. . . . He was the funniest human being I ever met.
Even after 27 years of marriage, he could always crack me up.”
Ilene Kristen, who played Hr. Hindman’s sister on “Ryan’s Hope, recalled the actor’s sense of humor. “He was a hoot,” she said. “He had great comedic timing — and just a naturally funny person.” Mr. Hindman was versatile and performed in a range of theater, film and television productions. “He had this tremendous ability to do both half-hour sitcom work and classics like Shakespeare and Moliere,” said Paul Hilepo of Hartig Hilepo Agency, which represented Mr. Hindman.
During a career that spanned more than three decades:
Mr. Hindman took the stage in “Henry V” at the New York Shakespeare Festival,
acted in films, including ” 3 Men and a Baby” & “Silverado,” made numerous guest
appearances on such drama series as “Kojak” and “Law and Order.” Most recently,
he performed in “Julius Caesar” at the Theatre for a New Audience in New York City.
His performance won him the Actor’s Equity Callaway Prize for best performance in
a professional production of a classic play.
Born Oct. 20, 1942, in Bisbee, Ariz., he was the son of Eula Hindman. Tucson, Ariz., and the late Burl Hindman. Before moving to Stamford, Mr. Hindman lived in New York City and Tucson. In addition to his mother and his wife, he is survived by a sister, Anna Dean Shields of Payson, Ariz.; and a brother, Ray Hindman of Tucson. Private funeral services for Mr. Hindman will be at St. Francis Episcopal Church in Stamford.
For the last decade of the 20th century, “Home Improvement” was a reliably pleasant, well-rated ABC family sitcom embraced by millions of American households. The show chronicled the ups and some downs of the suburban Detroit Taylor clan, with an accident prone TV personality father (Tim Allen, whose stand-up routine was the basis for the show), mostly understanding wife (Patricia Richardson), and three boys (all played by actors with triple names: Taran Noah Smith, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Zachery Ty Bryan) to rear and raise.
With the help of their wise neighbor (Earl Hindman), handyman sidekick (Richard Karn), “tool girls” (Pamela Anderson, and later Debbe Dunning), friends and family, things also needed fixing, and they used all the (Binford) tools at their disposal to build them back up over 8 seasons and 204 episodes. “Tool Time” was the home improvement show within the show “Home Improvement,” and both shows made a star out of Tim Allen, an actress out of Pamela Anderson, a mystery out of what Earl Hindman’s face actually looked like and a video game for Super Nintendo.
“Improvement” also gave us that signature gruffly grunt Tim Taylor constantly used to reinforce his manliness, putting to shame all other grunts in the world. The show garnered 34 Emmy nominations, and won 7 (mainly in the “Lighting Direction” category — because whenever anybody thinks back on the show, the first thing they marvel at is how well it was lit).
“Home Improvement” closed up shop in 1999, but continues on in heavy syndication to this day. As with any show that runs for over 200 episodes, its fanbase came to love the charming characters it visited with week after week — and like any show that has been
off the air for multiple decades, some beloved characters are no longer with us today.
So, let’s look back and say farewell to the “Home Improvement” actors you may not
know passed away.
Earl Hindman as Wilson W. Wilson Jr.
When Tim and his family sought advice or needed to vent, they often went into their backyard and talked things over with their ever dependable, omniscient and plainspoken philosophic neighbor Wilson W. Wilson, played by Earl Hindman. The character was based on Tim Allen’s childhood neighbor, who was too short to see over the fence, as well as the mythopoetic men’s movement leader and writer Robert Bly. Wilson was forever obscured by a fence and a hat, which was the show’s long-running gag that grew even more complicated and humorous as they let him out of the house and into the world more often.
After (mostly) appearing in every episode, his face was finally revealed to the audience in the series finale curtain call. Not being fully seen on camera initially upset Hindman’s own mother, but she settled into his role and then would get upset when she could see his face. “I’m becoming the best-known unknown actor,” Hindman said. But he certainly enjoyed the anonymity — “I like being able to go out and not be recognized and harassed like everybody else would be.”
Hindman’s face started to get recognized back in the ’70s, coming into sight in “The Parallax View,” dishing on the soap “The Doctors,” causing train delays in “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three,” and later playing Johnny Cash’s brother in the 1983 TV movie “Murder in Coweta County,” and J.T. in “Silverado.” Outside of “Home Improvement.”
Hindman had his most well-known role as detective Bob Reid on the soap “Ryan’s Hope,” where a haircut for another project once caused a brouhaha with the show’s producers. Fittingly, his final contribution to television was lending his voice as the narrator of the “Tim Allen Presents: A User’s Guide to ‘Home Improvement'” retrospective from 2003. That same year, Hindman died of lung cancer, at age 61.
