A study by the European Transport & Environment association published on Friday confirmed that spending a few days in various popular European capitals is equivalent to smoking between one and four cigarettes.

[...] The Transport & Environment study compared the contamination from fine particles of the ten largest European tourist cities by converting it into the number of cigarettes smoked. The NGO used a method of calculation created by Berkeley Earth, an international climate association.

  How about an optimistic list (microimmorta)
                  Drinking 0.5 liter of wine (reducing stress)
                  Smoking 1.4 cigarettes (increasin cognitive abilities leading to higher salary and better doctors)
                  Spending 1 hour in a coal mine (training for high level corporate position)
                  Spending 3 hours in a coal mine (passing the test for a CIO)
                  Living 2 days in New York or Boston in 1979 (salary->doctors)
                  Living 2 months with a smoker (are you going to? really?)
                  Drinking Miami water for 1 year (screw Cubans)
                  Eating 100 charcoal-broiled steaks (permanent hard-on)
                  Travelling 6000 miles (10,000 km) by jet (fucking 20 Thai ladies using power from above -> happiness, position, money, doctors, immortality)
