NO SMOKING!

Smoking is probably the worst thing you can do to your body. You can eat fresh(not fried) vegetarian food, get plenty of exercise, drink pure water, but if you are a smoker none of that really matters. You are putting up to 4,000 chemicals into your bloodstream by smoking cigarettes. You are greatly diminishing your lung capacity & life force energy(breath/spirit)by inhaling smoke into your lungs with every cigarette. You are basically making your body a toxic dump!
Of course that is just your body but the other problem with smoking is that a smoker pollutes the air of everyone around him. Childrens lungs are particularly vunerable & I'm amazed at the stupidity of parents smoking around young children. Smoking indoors especially creates a toxic environment for everyone. Although certain progressive states in the US & many countries throughout the World are banning indoor public smoking Asia seems to be stuck in a 1950's time warp in regards to smoking. Going to a nightclub guarantees that your clothes will reek of cigs & a possible headache the next day from inhaling the 'second-hand' smoke.
For those who really want to quit & don't have the willpower to quit 'cold turkey' there is a famous book by Allen Carr that is highly recommended(google stop smoking book) Other idea's are to put your cig butts in a glass mason jar & when it is full look at all that crap you have just put into your lungs & perhaps it will motivate you to quit. The late spiritual teacher Osho had a stop smoking meditation. First, he said "Don't fight it." Realize the divine nature of all activity(walking,eating,touching,etc..)and slow down and make it Conscious instead of an unconsious habit...Then, eventually the habit will drop on it's own when you see the studidity of it one day..
It seems travelers are especially stupid in regards to smoking. Perhaps because it is cheaper or that there is more 'free time' or whatever..The other day when I was in an internet cafe, a fellow a few seats down from me lit up & while I tried to finish up quickly two young locals boys(11?) beside him started smoking too...such a great role model..
All our actions reverberate throughout the Universe...Start a Revolution...STOP SMOKING!!
