President Obama still smoking

Quibbling?

I said about the jar and hospital ward as a source of inspiration. They still have a choice, an informed one.

Should I make wishes that Rush will get nasty cancer in one day? It's just like you bashed Obama over smoking issue.
 
I never made any wish on Obama to get sick. Quite the opposite which is why I sarcastically remarked, "Keep smoking Obama. Your kids will love you for it."
 
I wasn't the one who complained or brought up an irrelevant objection just because I brought up some potential inspirational suggestions.

:shrug:
 
I didn't address it to a specific person :dunno:

:smoking:

You are correct. I read that label on the pack and thought "why would I want to do that".

Because it is not a matter of being informed. Nicotine is an addiction as difficult to break as a heroin addiction. If all it took was warning people, no one would ever smoke.

I guess we are not all as strong as you are. I have never heard of anyone being addicted to salt. Caffeine while having some addictive qualities is no where near as strong as nicotine in my experience. With cigarettes there is also a psychological addiction that has to be addressed as well.

Absolutely.

Maybe have a large visible glass jar with blackened, cancerous lungs in formaldahyde solution as a good reminder and incentive to quit? Or have a nice stroll through the hospital wards full of people with lung cancer or full blown emphysema as a source of inspiration? Keep smoking Obama. Your kids will love you for it.

Obviously you know absolutely nothing about overcoming an addiction.:roll:

And, I would imagine Obama's kids love him smoker or non-smoker. Most people don't put so many conditions on love.

Seconded.

I have seen so many people struggle with caffeine addiction, nicotine addiction, crack addiction and so on. Meth is the worst one I have seen in term of withdrawal though, and breaking the habit. :\

:\

Hell, it was hellish on me when I decided to stop drinking Coca Cola, mochas and iced capp.

I honestly don't care if we have a president who smokes, cheats on his wife or whatever else as long as he/she is doing a good job for what we chose him/her to do. I understand that things like this who us what kind of people they are, but everyone makes mistakes and does things they regret, nobody is perfect. My main concern is how our government is running. My opinions on that I will keep to myself. :lol:

Well said. People are focused on the innane because they feel the need to cast dispersions about anything and everything. It somehow makes them feel superior. Unfortunately, it makes them appear inferior, so their purpose is not served at all. They simply come across as looking petty, childish, and judgemental.
 
wondering if I'm blessed or not for being incapable of having chemical addiction.
