As a smoker I have to “chime” in here!

Even though I do smoke I try to keep updated on the latest smoking rules. This woman could have simply gone outside to smoke or just go to another hotel that allows smoking!

She’s just over-stressing herself!

Smoking is supposed to be relaxing!

hum, some of my best friends hug trees while they puff away on their ciggies under them 😉

I think the main issue is that the smoker in this story was being nasty to someone who had nothing to do with hotels no smoking policy. As much as I empathize with the smokers frustration, that is no excuse to be rude. As far as I know smokers don’t appreciate being cursed at and shouted at anymore than non smokers, tree huggers or not.

Antonio you are right about smoking not being in line with what I want for myself – being healthier and a better example for others, especially my grandchildren.

And Megan commenting the truth that everyone’s spiritual journey is individualized helps me to deal with the tendency to beat myself up about unwise choices I made for myself over the years. Today, I am in a much better spiritual place for many reasons.

Thank you for your comments.

Hi Bill,

No one has to ‘die’ 😉

But seriously, I don’t recall saying that smoking is ‘bad’.

My thoughts are that people can do WHAT EVER they want… the only thing to consider is if it’s in alignment with what they say they want.

So, if someone’s goal is to have a happy, healthy body, then smoking isn’t in alignment with that.

If someone wants to lose weight, eating 2 double cheeseburgers, extra large fries, an apple pie and a diet coke every day isn’t in alignment.

No one can tell anyone else what to do…it’s all about choices. If a hotel decides they don’t want to allow smoking, you can stay in another hotel.

However, I do feel we do owe each other the common courtesy of respect.

who died and made you GOD?! what gives you the right to say that smoking is bod for someone an you said so yourself that you have never experience it? If I want to smoke, I should be able to smoke. and without somebody trying to tell me what to do!

MJ,

Good on you that you were able to stop smoking!!! 🙂

Whereas I don’t ‘judge’ people who smoke, I do have my own personal (unfavorable) opinions about it. I feel that it “most likely” isn’t in alignment with what people say they want for themselves.

As Morgan so eloquently put it, we all have our ‘vices’ and it’s important that we recognize them to live the life we truly desire.
