I remember my mother sending me to the store for cigarettes. Back in 19 80, a carton cost about twenty
dollars. Today, with taxes, it costs almost fifty. "Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?" (Isaiah 55:2). David From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: {dbilg} Thought for the day Date: Sat, 23 May 2009 19:42:47 +1000 The use of tobacco is inconvenient, expensive, uncleanly, defiling to the user, and offensive to others. Its devotees are encountered everywhere. You rarely pass through a crowd but some smoker puffs his poisoned breath in your face. It is unpleasant and unhealthful to remain in a railway car or in a room where the atmosphere is laden with the fumes of liquor and tobacco. Though men persist in using these poisons themselves, what right have they to defile the air that others must breathe? Among children and youth the use of tobacco is working untold harm. The unhealthful practices of past generations affect the children and youth of today. Mental inability, physical weakness, disordered nerves, and unnatural cravings are transmitted as a legacy from parents to children. And the same practices, continued by the children, are increasing and perpetuating the evil results. To this cause in no small is owing the physical, mental, and moral deterioration which is becoming such a cause of alarm.
