Good morning support team

Another day without smoking

The coughing is strange because I never 

New I had a smokers cough 

I thought it was a cold I couldn't shake. 

No one else smokes in our family

Only a nephew who lives in malaysia

Husband has 

a mate who smokes

And my best friend but she's moved away

So don't see much any more

My husband's grand mother died from

Emphysema and now his aunt has it

He has never smoked but didn't mind me

that cough is all the **bleep** on your lungs trying to clear.

Your lungs are trying to heal 🙂

How is that being helpful and supportive?

You have N  F  I   at all

I believe the truth is more important. This example is proof that smoking isn't only harmfull to the one who chooses to smoke, but also to those who have no choice in the matter. It is a direct assualt on the air everyone has to breathe, an attack on their health and well being.

Maybe it's only me who feels this way, however I believe that victims of second hand smoke would be well justified in defending themselves.

Giving up tobacco is so very hard, and there's a reason for that.

Tobacco products aren't only tobacco. There's lots of other chemicals in the mix as well. and they are all designed to keep us addicted.

It's worth giving up for the health benefits but it's also satisfying to know that you're sticking it to those companies who spend millions on researching chemistry to find more addictive products for the consumer.

There's a famous quote from a tobacco company executive when asked if he smoked

 The executive shook his head. "Are you kidding?" he asked. "We reserve that right for the poor, the young, the black and the stupid."

What a good little social warrior you are. Doesn't help anyone, anywhere, but keep on tootin your horn.

Most smokers would prefer to not smoke around the likes of you, why do you keep imposing yourself? It's a legal product, and what about emissions from cars and trucks? Yeah, nothing going on there.

"It's a legal product, . . . "

And yet tobacco causes more deaths than alcohol or any illegal drug for that matter.

So, why is it still legal to manufcature and sell this poisonous product?

Oh, yes . . . if we made it illegal, profits would plummet.

Tobacco is a drug(s) which are deliberately manufactured to keep the user addicted in order to siphon profits back to the drug dealers.

Why isn't there more community outrage that this poison is continuing to be produced with legal sanction?
