[color=Brown][font=Comic Sans MS] I Agree completely... I had a friend tell me she would quit smoking but, she couldn't stand to wash clothes without smoking. I couldn't say anything without being rude but, "okay, then." The bad just outweighs the bad by like a gazillion to one. Right on ..

I have shamelessly ripped this post off from another site.. my wife posted it and yes, she did give me permission to use it! (I added the color :) ) Note to N2k.. if you think I'm a militant ex-smoker.. meet the wife. :8o: [b][color=red]Valid Excuses To Smoke[/color] [color=black]-------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=black]"I was stressed out, so I started smoking again."[/color] [color=blue]Oh? And smoking relieves that? Or are you just a stressed out drug addict? How do nonsmokers deal with stress? They don't shoot up with heroin and snort cocaine, right? (Well, most of them don't, anyway...) [color=black]--------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=black]"Everyone thinks I'm a grouch and they begged me to start smoking again."[/color] [color=blue]Oh? Were you purposely extraordinarily grouchy and did you give up your self control so that you could sabotage your quit? And even if people beg you to start smoking again, are they going to be the ones with lung cancer, emphysema, and a tracheotomy (to smoke through the hole in your neck)? Chances are, most people would be more than happy to put up with a little *****iness, in order to see you break this addiction in the long-run.[/color] [color=black]--------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=black]"I'm gaining weight so I started smoking again."[/color] [color=blue]So you're going to TRIPLE your chances of a heart attack by being an overweight smoker? Bravo... Bravo.... *applauding* That makes A LOT of sense! NOT!![/color] [color=black]--------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=black]"It's just too hard and I'm tired of trying."[/color] [color=blue]Chemo-therapy is a real ###### too, but unless you want to die, you'll probably have to continue doing that. Much better if you can head it off by not smoking now. Having emphysema is hard: Like almost IMPOSSIBLE, when all you want to do is take a normal breath and you CAN'T."[/color] [color=black]--------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=black]"Quitting is just too depressing."[/color] [color=blue]And dying

JOE, Thank the wife for us would you! I often like the tough approach and some are more prone to it. Absolutely..there are no valid reasons for smoking, and no valid excuses. Great post, Josie ______________________ The SSC Support Team.
