Smoking may not send you to hell, but it'll make you smell like you've been there.

If God wanted you to have smoke coming out of your head, He would have put a chimney up on top.

Only heaven knows the total amount of damage and misery caused by cigarette smoking.  How many families have ended up homeless because of a family member falling asleep while smoking?  I knew a family whose house burned to the ground on Christmas Eve because the uncle fell asleep with a lit cigarette in his hand.  The fool! 

My mother had a stroke at age 53 and never walked again.  She had both legs amputated after she turned 60 and then eventually died at the young age of 65.  She didn't have diabetes, but the cigarettes had destroyed her body's circulation.  The entire left side of her body was paralyzed for 12 miserable years.  I watched her suffer in that wheelchair year after year while other people her age enjoyed the healthy body which God had given them.  I watched my mother ruin her health.  You just can't make someone take care of themselves.

I hate cigarettes, if for nothing else because of what they did to my mother.  Cigarette smoking has cost the American taxpayers hundreds-of-billions of dollars in nursing home costs and medical treatments.  My mother spent 12 years in a nursing home, underwent multiple major surgeries, and still died with a severe addiction to cigarettes.  She smoked more in the nursing home than she did before the stroke.  I would bring the grandkids to visit her and she would just wheel herself over to another table to mooch a cigarette off someone.  It's like the kids weren't even there.  I love my mother and realize that it was the cigarette addiction that was controlling her.  I still remember her telling me that she started smoking only a half cigarette a day when she was 14 years old.  The horrible habit progressed until she was smoking packs a day by the end of her life.  My mother gradually killed herself with Kool cigarettes.  Not so cool, huh?

You Can Quit Smoking!
