Smoking

I Have been a smoker for two years, is it time to quit, i know it's bad and that i have to break a barrier in my psyche, so, should a Jedi smoke?

I think that's all personal opinion. Some Jedi will be happy smokers. Some will decide that the habit is too expensive. Good luck with your choice.

I don't know... should we smoke?

Do you control your smoking or does your smoking control you?

Things like nicotine directly interact with neural circuitry and do cause addiction in many people... so while I think its ok to smoke, you'd want to be real with yourself and know you can stop by actually testing stopping. Otherwise I personally tend to consider addiction a bit of a weakness, as we have enough requirements as it is; air, water, internet , food, sleep, trust, shelter etc. Things cost so much I would not want to need anything else!!!

Aside from the addictictive property itself, there are zero benefits to smoking. I would noot presume to say a Jedi should not smoke. But I would say that humans shouldn't.

We probably shouldn't but let's be honest here: there's nothing attractive about dying of old age these days.

I beg to differ. Of course that depends on how you define "attractive".

I stopped smoking after 15 years. Best thing I have done, I must say this. If you really want to then listen to what you want to do. The only way to be free is to understand yourself and believe in yourself

6 1/2 weeks nicotine free! for the first time in my life!!!
i was a nicotine junkie in the womb, literally
