Amos-
scurry away quickly lol?? naw, then I stick a pacifier in their mouth and tell them to suck on that ...
Seriously, I know first-hand about what smoking does to the ole body ... when one see's a brother die from a failing heart, kidneys, etc. it really drives home the issue. Smoking is not a good habit to pursue ... and the "need" is what needs to be addressed: what is lacking in someone's life that one needs to smoke to "relax" ... ? My advice to smokers: get help, get away from the smokes, take up a new hobby, something that will give one a new angle on life.
Cigarettes became popular during WW2 when they were given free to the troops ... there are so many related illnesses ... just visit a veterans hospital.
To those of you trying to break the habit - good luck!
Am sending prayers and a hug to ya all!
