RE: Can you afford to smoke ?
Now that's a worthy contribution, to get people thinking and changing. Thank you :)
Second hand smoke is indeed the second worst cause and it should be a criminal offence to subject adults to it, let alone children.
In the military, tearing or chewing or damaging your toenails was a criminal offence, worthy of detention barracks as were damaging government property.
In the early 80s the UK paid something like $200,000,000 a year on treatment and financing of people with bronchitis emphysema alone and this means that we impinge on the capacity of our society to function and serve us when we choose to indulge in health destroying things like this.
Right up my alley - the subject of changing the way people think. So I gave up smoking and other addictions 28 years ago after indulging for 23 years. The miracle with the help of God was that I stopped ALL substance abuse in two weeks. Never been back there and never been tempted to. Challenged the old paradigm and developed a new one founded on new beliefs, values and perceptions. Thanks for article.
