I think it's a lot like other addictions, such as food - some people haven't
been able to lose weight by any methods, which is tougher because you don't
need cigarettes to survive (just the opposite, of course), but you need food
to live. I saw a lady on a documentary who had dropped well over 200 pounds.
She began to go insane; not from temptation, but because her body reacted as
though it were starving! She became psychotic and very ill. She ended up
gaining the weight back, and in doing so, regained her sanity. Isn't that
nuts?! For smokers, they see others lighting up, which is even more powerful
than an obese person walking by a restaurant and resisting the temptation to
chow down. Personally, I usually was slightly overweight, but not morbidly
so. Then my blood pressure went up, which woke me up to the reality that my
heart was being affected. I decided I'd rather not be a sick old lady some
day (I'm now 46), so I had to drop the weight and get in shape. I exercise
no less than 30 minutes every single day, and have never regretted it.

By the way, the bargain that you made for your body should be reneged.
Please believe me when I say you'll be so much more healthy without
cigarettes. What people don't realize is that while lung cancer is
relatively rare (I've only seen a handful of cases in 28 years), smoking does
a lot of damage in other ways, such as COPD (emphysema - folks on home oxygen
because their lungs have shriveled and hardened to the point of no
elasticity), not to mention heart attacks and strokes. Plus they're very
expensive! My mother-in-law, a **** death camp survivor smokes (I can't say
I blame her after what she went through), and while we lived in New Hampshire
(She lives in Massachusetts) she'd ask if I'd buy her cigarettes either in NH
(They're quite a bit cheaper there) or at Westover AFB in Chicopee, MA. I
told her that while I know she won't stop smoking because I refuse to buy
them for her, I could not in good conscience do that for her, because that
would be like handing a syringe to a heroin addict. I can't be a party to
her slow suicide. My husband used to get them for her, and I didn't chastise
him for it, because I knew he just wanted to do what he can to help his mom
be content. I just couldn't do it myself, and she (thankfully) understands
that. But she's so awesome anyway, she'd naturally not cop an attitude. The
woman's incredible, and I wish she could stop so we could have her on this
planet longer.

I often wonder why there is even a mention of making marijuana legal,
while in the same breath they try to eliminate cigarette smoking. Seems
to me they are both bad for health.

I had a chance to sit in a 04 Camry today. It's a really nice
automobile.

Yeah, but when you're as desperate as my friend Mick - who has been
known to snort a line of salt from the edge of the bar - then a joint
is not such a bad thing.

They are, but like so many things, money is a factor. Most people can't or
wouldn't grow their own tobacco, but they'd certainly grow their own weed.
The government would have a very hard time taxing and overseeing such a
plant.

Gawd, that reminds me of that scene from Cheech and Chong's 'Up In Smoke'
when that whacked-out chick snorted cleaning powder (I think it was Ajax
cleanser).

On cold days I walk at our mall. I spoke with a lady one morning who
has diabetes. She told me that she started a vigorous walking regime
some time ago and after a while she was able to shed ALL of her
medications. One more reason for exercise.
