Reply To: smoking cessation

i’m sorry, did you just say there are ppl who SUPPORT smoking? are these ppl in their correct minds???? that just hit a nerve. besides the effects it has on the smoker CH”V (hypertension, heart disease, respiratory diseases, type 2 diabetes, risk of stroke, not to mention the most obvious ones), it causes all sorts of health problems in those who breath the second hand smoke. asthma, frequent respiratory infections, increased risk of sids Chas Veshalom lo aleinu. when a person smokes they are harming more than themselves. second hand smoke and third hand smoke (particulates from the smoke that settle but the full effects are not yet known)is dangerous too. k vent over.

i 100,000,000% agree with your post. which is why, one of the deal breaker for me, if not THE biggest one is if a guy is an active smoker. s/o who quit has inner strength and should be applauded. i will not marry someone who says they will stop when married, when he has kids etc. my father used to smoke. he quit over 21 years ago and has not smoked since. i’m sure that after my rotation on a respiratory unit my views will be even stronger when it comes to smoking.
