You are correct
but like I was going to disagree...LOL
But seriously I am really sad that someone would feel that way. The funny thing is back in the 40's they actually said smoking WAS good for you! |

Yeah seems like an odd statement without more detail, but some people are genetically more inclinde toward addiaction and have significantly greater issues with withrawl than most.
yeah I have seen some of the old stuff from back then, doctors suggesting people take up smoking to help with stress, and subscribing laudenum(Opium disolved in alcohol) to quieten babies. |

| I've heard that before and as an ex smoker myself, I know that people make all sorts of weird and wonderful justifications to themselves to continue with their own self destructive behaviour. |

I applaud you for quitting!
Your friend does have faulty thinking.
Most smokers do as you know.
My mother smokes also, and heres a kicker for you, she smokes, she has COPD among other things, and is on oxygen. She had quit a year ago, then when I went out of town for a couple weeks she started again because she was bored. So not a good reason to smoke but now she is about to quit again (so she says).
I am trying to quit, and heres another excuse, its hard and my will power isnt as great as I would like it to be. I am weak weak weak!
Good luck to your friend. |

| I reread this twice and I have watched the elders in the nursing homes go from 2-3 packs a day 40-70 years of there life and then get 2 cigs a day because it is bad for there health. Well I have witnessed it and have thought the same thing... quiting like that is what kills them. Shocks their body! |
