THANKS A LOT AAK - thanks to you I have accomplished NOTHING at work today! and it is about lunch time here and let me say I am having Organic Black Bean Vegetable soup today; I had a banana, apple and orange for breakfast and have a tangerine and possibly another orange for snack later on today
I haven't always been but have gradually changed in the past few years - it just makes you feel so much better. Hubby is REALLY a health nut - even more so that me! I tend to fall of the wagon some though when I come home for a visit - LOL
It simply amazes me that one can find a valid excuse for a sinful behavior by suggesting that some other behavior is just as sinful.
Smoking damages a body and is very addictive and unless one smokes in a vacuum sealed chamber, smoking hurts those around you.
If you want to have a discussion about over eating, then fine. We have done that many times. Its a worthy discussion.
You want to talk about the evil of pork, great, we have done that too and it is a worthy discussion.
You want to talk about the evils of caffeine great! We have discussed that more than once too....
But PLEASE people, none of those things is an excuse for lighting up and ingesting tobacco into your lungs. Smoking damages the body. period. end of discussion. it damages the body very clearly, it kills people, it harms those around the smoker, and it has an addictive nature that keeps you coming back for more.
One cannot smoke in moderation and not damage your body. One cannot smoke on occasion for recreation and not damage your body.
No amount of bacon or fried chicken or chicken fried in bacon grease undoes the simple fact that smoking DAMAGES the body!
Doing willfull damage to the Temple of God is a SIN.
If you are attempting to justify smoking using ANY argument at all, you are attempting to justify sin. period.
Some complain that AFF has become "Post-Apostolic". This thread makes me wonder if we have "Apostolics" that have really become Post-Christian.

I am not justifying anything - I DON'T SMOKE!! I DON'T DRINK!! I DON'T OVEREAT!! No one has said bacon, fried chicken etc undoes the fact that smoking DAMAGES the body - I am say it ALL DAMAGES THE BODY and if you do not think one is just as damaging as the other then you are not well-educated in that area.

I am not trying to justify smoking! I dont smoke! I just wanna know why the smokers are picked on when all the things you mention are also doing willfull damage to the body.

It's not a matter of aceepting smoking. It is a matter of logic and why some things are singled out and others are not touched because they are accepted...
