I started smoking at age eighteen. By the age of twenty-eight I smoked sixty a day but did not have the will to give up, nor even to cut down.

I had lodgings in a house on a fairly steep hill. One day on the way home from work I had to pause for a rest halfway. An old lady carrying two bags of heavy shopping passed me as I stood there gasping for breath. She gave me a long look, shook her head and walked on.

Realizing that I was less fit at twenty-eight than a woman of eighty I convinced myself that I must give it up. Next day in an empty compartment on the train to work - 10 May 1972 - I had one last cigarette, swore that I would never smoke again, then lowered the window and tossed all my smoker's requisites to the winds. I used snuff and countless tablets of a sweet known as "Victory V" until eventually after about a month I finally conquered the craving.

Now at age seventy-five I do have a mild bronchial condition, nothing serious, only mild chest pain in very cold weather or when walking uphill which the doctor attributes to smoking. Fortunately it doesn't affect me in the summer, nor in some areas of the country where the air is dry. On a recent check-up the doctor told me how lucky I was to have had the will to give up smoking forty-seven years ago - and survive.

To think there was a time when doctors used to endorse this toxic product is mind-boggling. If you were to learn of your GP being a smoker, what would you think of him? Would you still respect his expert advice on health, or view him as being somewhat of a hypocrite?

I find smokers to be psychologically of interest. What makes them tick? What makes them like such a disgusting oral practice? Do they ever confuse their miniature crutches for suppositories? I picture brain-doctors probing the inner workings of their gray matter in their feeble attempt to come to some form of understanding. Addiction, aside, it just doesn’t make any sense to me, why someone would willingly inhale poison.

I’ve heard it said that some couples engage in sex for the sole reason of sharing a post-coital orgasm. Talk about an anti-climactic experience.

For me, a woman’s sex appeal plummets dramatically, instantly, the moment I learn of her being a cig-toker, or upon my seeing her for the first time with a tarbar dangling from her snarly kisser.

Cigarettes used to be called cancer sticks, but many a nicotine addict nevertheless outlives non-smokers. Somehow this doesn’t seem right. Why should people who take care of their health die of some fluke illness or disease while those who purposely pollute their bodies live to an advanced age? Where is the cosmic justice in that?

What I find ironic is when you come across someone complaining of the state of health care who happens to be a smoker. Do smokers take vitamins? I’ve often wondered that.

Every now and then a person whom I least expect of being a sucker of Big Tobacco turns out to be one. I am then saddened by the revelation. I thought they had more sense than that. Yet more often than not, I can spot a smoker, if not by their stench, than by their attitude and body language. Especially in the case of younger users. What gets me is that they give off this impression of not caring and of not liking life. Many of them flick their butts to the ground, littering parks, sidewalks, and entranceways. They don’t care about their own health, so why should they care about their immediate environment? Often stooped over, these skulking, loitering litterbugs suck-and-puff away, perhaps thinking themselves cool for standing around looking like pathetic shoe-gazers.

Can a person smoke and still be spiritual? The examples of Edgar Cayce and Carl Jung are given in this thread, as a case for the affirmative. This to me is a spurious argument. One of the primary aspects of a spiritual conscience is the fundamental acknowledgement of the human body being a temple – a sacred tabernacle, not to be defiled and corrupted. The importance of keeping the human vessel pure is a basic understanding to one conscious of their spiritual state.

In the case of Cayce and Jung, these highly evolved souls were not spiritual on account of the fact they smoked. For one thing, they both lived during a time when the harmful effects of cigarettes were not commonly known. They also might very well have regarded their smoking habit as a weakness, not to be emulated. Whatever the case, I don’t think either of them condoned the practice in their writings. Cayce, in particular, was very much a health-conscious individual, taken to treating the health problems of others.

For what it's worth, according to Dr. David Hawkins of "Power vs. Force" fame - organic tobacco muscle-tests strong, while - of course - commercial tobacco grown with chemicals and laden with addictive additives tests weak. I'm not sure if organic tobacco smoke inhaled into the lungs still tests strong, or only the substance itself, but it's surely a much better choice than smoking Marlboros.

Personally, I've heard that pornography is the hardest addiction to be rid of and I've heard of a number of recovered smokers, alcoholics and even cocaine addicts who still struggle with porn. Probably because it releases dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine and also interferes with our sexual and emotional appetites in ways completely unforseen by nature.
