Claim Breakdown:
๐ Fact Check: While fried foods cooked in degraded oils can cause temporary acute inflammation, comparing this to cigarette smoke is biologically absurd. Cigarettes contain over 7,000 chemicals, including dozens of known carcinogens, causing chronic systemic inflammation, DNA mutation, and cardiovascular disease. There is zero clinical consensus that smoking is the 'lesser of two evils' regarding systemic harm or inflammation duration. ๐ฌ๐
