To smoke or not to smoke?!

To smoke or not to smoke? How can anyone even ask that question, becauss it should not be a Q because it is an A intself? Do NOT smoke. It's bad for you. And no this blog is not about lisitng out all the ramifications about smoking.

I was watching CNN today and they had a report on "smoking can help reduce weight". I mean any sane person knows that THAT shouldn't alter ones thinking that smoking can be actually good for you. It is known that with society placing such pressure on haveing the perfect figure and looking good this may actually be an encouragement to people who would go to any lenghts to have that perfect bod.

Ok to be fair to the reporting business and not to discourage any reporting of"news" they did mention that this does mean the "researchers, doctors et all who came up with this outcome do not encourage an obese person to take up smoking. However, I bet this kind of news could have been masked or delivered with a much more powerful message that loosing that weight is a un-healthy way to go about it.
