tembakau rokok membunuh 560 orang di seluruh dunia. Kalau dihitung, satu tahun terdapat 4,9 juta kematian di dunia
yang disebabkan oleh tembakau rokok. Kematian tersebut tidak terlepas dari 3.800 zat kimia, yang sebagian besar
merupakan racun dari karsinogen (zat pemicu kanker). Selain itu, asap dari rokok yang memiliki benzopyrenemerupakan
penyebab langsung mutasi gen. Hal ini berbanding terbalik dengan makanan dan minuman yang bersifat nyata dalam

Scientists are as obsessed with the question of why the superold survive and thrive as Ponce de Leon was to find
the Fountain of Youth. They want to understand why the Japanese islands of Okinawa are home to the world’s largest
population of centenarians, with almost 600 of its 1.3 million inhabitants living into their second century – many of them
active and looking decades younger than their actual years. Like weekend visitors on the summer ferry to Martha’s
Vineyard, scientists and sociologists block the boats to Sardinia and Nova Scotia, Canada, to see why those craggy
locales hide vast clusters of the superold.
As well as studying these populations intensively to unlock their secrets, scientists have also taken a hard look at
the very old in the U.S., most notably in the New England Centenarian Study, led by Dr. Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at
Boston University. While the very old are happy to offer homespun explanations for their longevity - “I never took a drink”,
“I drank a shot of whiskey every day” – experts are trying to unravel and understand the biological factors that allow
some people to reach 100 while others drop off in their 70’s or 80s. Researchers are particularly interested in
determining which factors allow up to 30% of those who reach 100 to do so in sufficient mental and physical health: a
whopping 90% of centenarians, according to Perls, remain functionally independent up to age 92.

It is pretty obvious even to nonscientists that how you get there depends partly on the genes you are born with and
partly on lifestyle – what and how much you eat, where you live and what types of stress and trauma you experience.
How much depends on each factor, though, was unknown until Swedish scientists tackled the problem in 1998. They did
it by looking at the only set of people who share genes but not lifestyle: identical twins who were separated at birth and
reared apart. If genes were most important, you would expect the twins to die at about the same age, In fact, they do not,
and the average difference convinced the scientists that only about 20% to 30% of how long we live is genetically
determined. The dominant factor is lifestyle.

The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chart without a hitch.
The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of different sizes from 20 feet away. But being able to read
the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are concerned. Most birds
would consider us very visually handicapped. The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the
sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building. It can make fine visual distinctions because it is blessed with
one million cones per square millimeter in its retina. And in water, humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping
down to spear fish, can see well in both the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae – areas of the eye,
consisting mostly of cones that provide visual distinctions. One foveae permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water
below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the
kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time. A frog’s vision is distinguished by its ability to
perceive things as a constant motion picture. Known as “bug detectors”, a highly developed set of cells in a frog’s eyes
responds mainly to moving objects. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn’t see them as food and
would starve.
The bee has a “compound” eye, which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a
pattern of dots, or mosaic. With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of
reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in
relation to the sun. A bee’s eye also gauges flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect vision”
paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can’t – ultraviolet light. Thus, what humans consider
to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species. However, there is still much to be said for the
human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the pleasures of color vision.
