--- Quote from: Allen-T on April 04, 2007, 04:03:38 PM ---I thought I'd share my successful strategy for quitting smoking[as I define "quitting"]. I have smoked on and off my whole life. I quit for several years prior to 1998, but picked it up again in late 98 when I moved to Europe for 5 years. How I eventually gave up[so to speak] this habit was simple. I started smoking 1 cigar every weekend. Whenever I got the urge to smoke I just thought about that wonderful cigar that was coming on the weekend. It worked. Eventually I became comfortable with 1 cigar every other weekend and ultimately I got to where I am now, I enjoy approximately 4 cigars a year. Why, you may be asking yourself, do you even bother? BECAUSE IT'S DELICIOUS!! I love the things, and I must say that the infrequency that I indulge makes them that much more tastier!! I don't believe that these infrequent pleasures cause me any real health risks. :o

Once I heard that each minute of smoking shortens your life by a minute, so an average cigarette shortens your life by 7 minutes.

I think that in the Bible there are places where the word "life" is translated from words that have more to do with quality than quantity, so in that sense, what's a few less of one in exchange for the other? Oh my that sounds horrible, but it's what came forth out of honesty! ???

If mankind was not meant to enjoy tobacco, then why did Ha'Shem create us with actual nicotein receptors in our brains?
If mankind was not meant to use opium poppies as medicine for relief of pain and anxiety, then why did Ha'Shem create us with actual opioid receptors in our brains?
If smoking a cigarette will shorten my life by "x" amount of minutes or hours, then someone will have to tell me exactly when my death is supposed to take place, so I may make up my mind as to whether or not I choose to wait until that moment, because using this faulty logic can only produce flawed conclusions such as these:
Those who perished in the 9/11 Trade Towers bombing, would have lived much longer lives, had they only not smoked any cigarettes.
If someone dies during their teen years, whether from disease or other causes, then we must assume that it happened to them because they were heavy smokers.
If your doctor diagnoses you with a terminal illness, for which there is no treatment or known cure, and gives you approximately six months to get your affairs in order, you can then count the number of cigarettes which you smoked during your life, and subtract all of the minutes from the six months to find out how long you really will live! Or; if you never smoked at all, shouldn't you add on some time to what the doctor predicts?
Health experts always show statistical charts and graphs, which appear to correlate cancer incidence with the approximate years cigarettes became popular. However, they always neglect to mention that the very same years cigarettes achieved popularity, were also the very same years that the internal combustion automobile engine became popular and began pouring tons and tons of pollutants into our air; the same oversight is applied to the years of industrial air and water pollution.
The most neglected and censored factor which plays a tremendous role in the cancer rates, is the permanent effects worldwide to our air, water, and food, which resulted from numerous atmospheric nuclear bomb tests held throughout the 50's and 60's by the U.S., France, U.S.S.R, and China. Scientists who specialize in the effects of radioactive poisoning know that the epidemics of breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and prostate cancer, are primarily the result of our previous nuclear bomb tests. Funny...meanwhile idiots in the media keep printing articles telling us to stop eating fat because it is the factor for breast and prostate cancer! Maybe so, but if it is it's only because poisons are stored in body fat! Meanwhile the Chernobyl reactor continues to spew poisonous radioactivity worldwide and will continue unabated for untold thousands and thousands of years. It's an out-of-control nuclear fission meltdown which CAN NOT be stopped.
And, in closing, DON"T FORGET:
9 out of 10 Doctors Recommend Smoking KENT Cigarettes with the "Micronite" Filter! (years later identified as asbestos fibres)
Ronald Reagan always sends cartons of CHESTERFIELD Cigarettes at Christmas time to all of his friends and family, because the taste is mild!
WINSTON tastes GOOD! Like a cigarette should!
Come to MARLBORO Country!
Nadiv's are manufactured with camel dung mixed with bad quality Arab tobacco!
p.s.--if smoking's so bad for you, then why are Keith Richards and Willie Nelson living so long and having so much fun?
Huh? Huh? Got you on that one! :o ??? ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D :D

There is also a direct relationship between a white woman's contact with black men and her ability to eat a strict diet made up of McDonald's and KFC while popping out little fro headed mulattos
ah..my attempt at a Fruit style joke..but.I'm not as good at it as he is

You have my nomination for Minister of Health in the coming Kahanist Gov't in Israel! ;D

Allen-T makes a motion:
"...You have my nomination for Minister of Health in the coming Kahanist Gov't in Israel!..."
Thank you, Allen! ;)
I not only humbly accept your allegation, but with true humility, accept the alligator also! ???
As your Minister of Health, my first act, will be to re-classify tobacco as one of nature's "natural foods".
As you well know, my Ministry will be self-financing!
yes...no taxation necessary! ;D
My modest office will be subsidized through the sale to foreign nations of the very food products which they truly want...tobacco, opium derivatives, and "Texas tea". 8)
Not only does the world hunger for "good and sustainable food", but once they sample our produce, they always come back for more! :'( :'(
