Moish, if you are underage, as you said, and you smoke even occasionally, you are not only damaging your health, you are rbeaking the law, as well. I am not telling you what to do, mind you, but your attitude is so typical of teenagers who think they are immortal and impervious to any harm. I knew another Moish once upon a time. He was my boyfriend and he broke up with me because he had begun to smoke again after quitting, and I nagged him about it (I admit to being a pain in the neck on the subject). As I said, we broke up, he continued to smoke sporadically over the next almost 20 years, then finally gave it up. Unfortunately it was too late. He was at work one day, didn’t feel so well and took the train home. He never made it there, because he had a massive fatal coronary on the train and was dead before he hit the floor. This was a real and probably preventable tragedy for his wife and sons. For those who beleive bashert is bashert (and I usually am one of them), I also feel that the choices we make in life, determine what is bashert for us. Maybe there is a Lady Or the Tiger scenario, and depending on which door we pick, our path in life alters. We know that teshuvah, tefila, and tzedaka maavirin es roa hagezaira. I am sure that other things we do, also have an impact.
