Cicada Sundae, Anyone?

Apparently, the Columbia, MO health department has some concerns about a very popular new ice cream. That’s right, cidada ice cream.

The act of smoking increases a person's metabolic rate by forcing the heart to beat faster. When a cigarette is inhaled, the smoker's heart may beat 10 to 20 times more per minute for a period of time. This puts a lot of extra stress on the heart and plays a role in heart disease, the most common cause of smoking-related death.
