While e-cigarettes may serve as a potentially lower-risk alternative for smokers transitioning away from traditional tobacco, they come with their own set of challenges. Nicotine, combined with other chemicals present in ENDS aerosols, can contribute to a variety of oral health problems, such as periodontal disease, xerostomia, disruptions in the oral microbiome, and possibly an elevated risk of oral cancer. The long-term effects of these devices on oral health remain unclear.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This work examines African proverbs in the light of its pedagogic impact on moral values in the society with reference to some select plays. Proverbs are those phrases that give witty advices used to impact knowledge, wisdom, moral values and teachings to the younger generation. African proverbs constitute important and strategic areas where the African philosophy of life can be extracted. In recent times, the plausibility of African proverbs being used as instrument of change and impacting moral values has been drastically reduced. This is said to have been stemmed from the lacuna created from the impact of western acculturation with Africa which distorted the African socio-cultural and indigenous worldview. The objective of this is to advance African proverbs as viable African centered approach to critical thinking. In the light of the foregoing, the work while adapting a qualitative methodology situates its argument on African proverbs as vessels for propagating change. The study notes that African proverbs are necessarily essential in the understanding and transmission of African epistemology geared towards creating knowledge for the betterment of human existence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Households and other local entities require all forms of assistance to meet several of their basic needs. Conversely, the impact of all the aids received from foreign bodies on households and nonprofit institutions serving households in Nigeria is not yet clear.
