Infinite thoughts, I'm happy to read either side. Smoking doesn't bother me either way. I have smokers and non smokers in my family. I dont see anything compelling to start me smoking fulltime, I smoke a couple a day when I feel like it and then stop. the smokers I know are not overly healthy and dont live longer than the non smokers in my family. Some died of cancer who smoked, some died of cancer who didnt. Certainly, didn't see any impressive stuff from the smokers healthwise. Alot of coughing from some though.

But, it was great to see the other side of this. I passed it on to a few of them too. I'm not against nightlight and what he's doing at all. Hell, if there are two sides, please give them. Nobody is on here on an anti smoking hate compaign, to behave like we are is somewhat paranoic. But to push it and become dogmatic about it, or even annoyed at those giving negative experiences is a little off and this is why people start to wonder what the real deal is here.

Nightlight is obviously a well read guy, intelligent. I just found the threads becoming excessive with the pics and advertisment type posts and some of his responses to people who gave their negative side to smoking a little condescending at times, which sounds somewhat superior. I dont like that. But I apologise if I misjudged you nightlight. Sometimes its easy to do when you read someones post and get a wrong impression.

But I like a balanced approach I suppose. Giving people a chance to read it and come to their own conclusion without excessive shoving it down peoples throat and if they dont swallow it, somehow it means they have problems. Which is bollocks. Whether you believe some issues people have had from cigarettes is smoking related or not, people have every right to give their side, as you guys have.

Moderation is the way to go if people want to try smoking. Ive read all of nightlight posts on this matter and saw some compelling evidence on either side. But I dont do something cause someone tells me to or not. I do it off my own bat. If I dont like what it does, i stop. Pure and simple, or i lessen it. I Hey, there are many things people advise on here to do cause it worked for them. Natural and otherwise. But others have had very bad reactions to the same thing. If that occurs, you should listen and take it onboard, not sweep it to oneside deliberately because it doesnt suit you and doesnt fit in with your own personal experience.
