Good point but it is said that people are living longer in this age than ever before, and it is just a coincidence that
the people who are living so long today are the ones who grew up and lived much of their life in a town with smoke stacks and most of the ones i know also spent much of their time by wood or coal stoves or camp fires, not to mention smoke filled bar rooms.
I have smoked for about 67 years and i have problems but i know many people who has never smoked a cigarette in their life has more problems than i do.
All of my young day friends are gone, smokers and non smokers so i don`t think i will quit doing what i like to do
just to satisfy this new age thinking.
you wrote: My point is this, there is NOTHING GOOD about smoking, it is worse than a drug addiction........
Yes that is the new age way of thinking and that is why they are so screwed up that boys don`t know the difference between boys and girls and don`t know if they are supposed to be boys or girls.
Like the guy said:
I cut out drinking, i cut out smoking, i cut out women and now i am cutting out paper dolls.
So true! I would never eant anything to have that kind of control over me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I do not care about drinking much so it is easy for me to say that about drinking, boy talk about will power...
True, most people would not let any thing have control over them if it was something they did not want to do in the first place.
Every one wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die, if there is nothing wrong with you what are you going to die of?
However worse is the cost of drugs with terrible side effects, and the example it sets is children/grandchildren are learning a bad habit...................................
You call it a bad habit, when Jesus drink with the sinners the gooood people no doubt called that a bad habit, but if they had cigars i would bet a dollar to a hole in a doughnut that Jesus would have a cigar or a cigarette also.
I know you and your husband must have it rough and i really feel depressed on your behalf, but all you can do is hang in there and keep in touch with God because he is where this is all leading.
God bless you.
My husband knows that smoking for 40 yrs brought him MISERY, in form of COPD, CROHNS, RHEUMETOID ARTHRITIS, among other issues. He finally quit in 2014/ too late for his body to restore itself, but DR warned him for a decade before it happened. He has been on OXYGEN, since 2012.
So we hang in there, live one day at a time, and make the best of our lives. We are both Christians, and I have close prayer relationship with God... Thank you, and God Bless!
