Yes, some of your posts are long, but it's good to see your contributions..... :)

Financially I may not have a choice lol.
I don't plan on cutting down or quitting, but nothing is really in my control.
Although I am down to maybe 1/2 a pack this winter. I'm not fond of travelling in the snow and we've had plenty so far this year already.
So I find myself slowing down out of necessity rather than desire.
Also I find the more I sleep the less I smoke too. So I been sleeping (hibernating a lot this winter)
It's something to pass the time.
And a habit that just clings on and on and on...

@Ziggy Sounds like in one way or another you are managing to cut down....
I enjoy a cigar and now and then. I personally do not feel convicted over it, other believers might and there is nothing wrong with that. The amount of Coca-Cola I consume is a lot more damaging than the cigar I have every once in a while. The way I attempt to keep a balanced and healthy life is this: moderation not elimination.
Enjoy the dessert, the greasy pizza, the soda, etc. The amount of pollution that is in the air, the amount of chemicals and processed foods that fill the stores, nothing is truly pure and clean nowadays anyways unless you're living off the grid and growing and hunting your own food.

Hopefully, this is an oft-repeated response,
"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful;
all things are lawful for me, but not all things [are good for me]." 1 Corinthians 10:23
(Even though before the American Civil War it was apparently widespread in some areas for women to smoke after church....)
The taboo had apparently not set in yet....

Of course we have to know what Paul was referring to, consider the context; he is not any more exempt from the laws given to Christians than any of us are. Paul as an apostle, although not sinless, did his utmost to live within the guidelines of God's laws, as do all of us Christians.
Hello, would you explain to me why all these bots are on the forums? Also, does Christianity board have administrators?

I don't really know..
I know if you click on Members in the tabs at the top of the forum, you will come across another tab that says "staff" .
You may need to message them but I don't think you can do that until you get 10 likes...
So hang around and tell us a bit about yourself.
Take a walk in the welcome section or in the lounge.
Until then, I'll give you a like..
Hugs
Simply post their names like so... There are others.

If yer doing burnouts and leaving those unsightly black lines on the road yer gonna spend at least an extra 149 years in purgatory.....unless of course you can cough up enough dosh and pay the Man, then yer might get away with a few hail Mary's.

Hi Titus, I am sure they do, but I am very thankful they allow a great measure of freedom of speech here. This is the best religious site I have ever posted on. If you want censorship as the dominant character might I suggest this site: Christianity Forum - - City-Data Forum
There, you will likely be given days off, and eventually be barred for speaking Bible truths.

Hello! Hahaha, I was booted off Christianity forums. I must be really bad over there because I was banned without any notice of any kind. Thanks for responding
Hello, Titus...Welcome to CB...what were you seeking from an admin or mid? I am happy to answer any questions.
