Jesus Wants You to Quit Smoking!

I know He does... He told me so. If you just need a little encouragement, check out this smoking cessation info-porn:

A pox upon the demon of cigarette smoking! Let all her minions be damned! ;)

I look at these graphs and wonder sometimes if any of them take moderation into consideration. I'm pregnant now, so no ciggys for the SpideyGeek, but when not with child, I've had a lot of problems with stuff like panic attacks. Now, I have a choice... I can take Zoloft until the end of days and heaven only knows what that'll do to my liver...
... or when I get stressed out, I light up a cigarette. It could be the placebo effect or some chemical in the cigarette, but if I have one, I level off and chill.

Sometimes, for the hell of it, I just have a cigarette, period. But the point is that I don't chain smoke and I can have two cigarettes in a day or none. I really don't see the difference between that and eating a cheeseburger at McDonald's. Still, I mention this to a doctor and they immediately hiss and threaten me with the looming threat of lung cancer.

As I understand it, isn't skin cancer the more prevalent and real threat? I think we need to ban going outside during the day. ;-)
