I know of a friend who had an ironically extraordinary experience.
This friend that I talk about (let’s call him Dwight, for the lack of a better name) is an “occasional” smoker, as he likes to call himself- he averages a pack a day.
On one certain night, Dwight was out of cigarettes and felt the urge to smoke. He decided to take a walk down the road to buy a pack from the local store. After spending fifteen minutes or so, he got back, only to be shocked at the sight that was before him.
The apartment building in which he lived had caught a huge fire- specifically his floor; even more specifically his next door neighbor. It was a bad fire. Had Dwight been in the building in the particular time, he would have probably been in serious danger.
From that day on, Dwight decided to never quit smoking.
We live in a world full of “Dwights”. My point from this post is not to promote a bad habit which I am strongly against, no. It is rather to point out the illogical thinking that many people are taking on these days.
We have come to live in a world where the popular is followed blindly, faith is mocked openly, lives are taken cheaply, and actions are justified illogically.
Take a good look at this world and think… where has all the logic gone?
Yah, I agree with the title. Sometimes smoking saves lives. Do u know that cigarette smoking appears to decrease the risk of developing ulcerative colitis and parkinson disease and few other conditions?
Actually, I think you missed the point here. I was being sarcastic with the title. It shows the illogical thinking that some people have here. Smoking kills, thats a fact that cannot be changed. Please don’t misinterpet the topic to be a campaign for smoking.
I didn’t miss the point at all. Thats why i said I agree with the title, but not with what u said in this topic!:) Yet, i was seroiues about parkinson and UC, just google this fact and u will find lots of resources confirm what i said.
