Explanation:
Common cold and chickenpox are acute diseases. Acute diseases are short duration diseases in which the normal activity of a person gets impaired for a few days. These diseases normally do not cause long term effects on the health of an individual. Stress can be acute or chronic and accordingly it may have short term or long term effects on the human body. Chewing tobacco leads to tobacco addiction i.e., physiological and psychological dependence on tobacco.
