It is better to not even try it than to endure the ramifications of either quitting smoking or dying.

I was really gangly and uncoordinated as a kid. I couldn't even do a cartwheel.

Parents should not smoke in order to discourage their kids from smoking. A child is more likely to smoke when they have been raised in the environment of a smoker.

I was never directly pressured by peers, but by surrounding myself with others who were experimenting with smoking provided a certain false comfort.

Cholera is even more severe among populations who are immunologically naive.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.
