Infinite thoughts, I see what you're saying, but I am not going by what society dictates. I have tried smoking upteen times and it destroys any healh gain I've managed to get and I end up having to start again and attempt to detox myself.

So again, if it was about someone telling me what to do, I would continue pushing myself to smoke because of what's being advocated on here. This time I am listening to my body.

It maybe fine for those people on National Geographic who I am certain are not smoking the junk laden cigarettes we have in supermarkets <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

As I've stated, I have not yet seen the benefits of smoking in members in my family and my own attempts have been disastrous with long term impact. I can't really be anymore honest and straight than this.
Do you suggest I ignore this and continue smoking regardless? I couldn't even do that if I tried. It made me so ill, I STILL am trying to recover.

I appreciate hearing the other side to smoking, and as always it's impressive, but I'm afraid I am unable to smoke myself. My body speaks volumes and has the last say.
