Everything these days has to be compared with the dangers of smoking! It is sickening! Truly sickening! Smoking has become the bête noire of our age, as though there were nothing worse to do than smoke a cigarette. I can assure you that it is all bullshit! There are far worse things to do to your health than enjoy a cigarette. Until April 2022, I had smoked almost all of my adult life, twenty cigarettes a day, and I am still here to tell the tale.
If you listen to doctors, many of whom have never smoked a cigarette in their entire lives and therefore know nothing at all about smoking and the pleasure it gives one, but still feel qualified to pontificate on the habit, one could easily draw the conclusion that smoking is the provenance of all things evil and unhealthy. It is not! There are far unhealthier pursuits than smoking a few cigarettes. The danger is in the dose. Believe me, in this day and age, with all the bad things that people engage in, if all one has to worry about is the odd cigarette, then one is a very lucky person!
Although I am no longer a smoker, I wish this war on tobacco and cigarette-smoking would end. It already sounds like a broken reocrd. – © Mark Alexander
