"You guys DF people for smoking bc it's harmful to your body. Well your belly is enormous, you are huge and you are OBESE and that is way more harmful to your body than if a person was to smoke a few cigarettes!" (It was kinda mean but true he is a very heavy guy)
This has always been a point that I have made. I also disagree that cigars are as bad as cigarettes, this would only be true if you inhaled the cigars. Yes you will get a bit of smoke but accidentally inhaling a puff or two off one cigar a week (or month or year) is vastly different than smoking a pack a day of cigarettes. That article (and others similar I have read) are equivocating the smoke, while the smoke off both may be similar in toxicity, act of smoking cigars/cigarettes is completely different to the extent that this type of argument is invalid.
The non smoker 300lbs big mac eating, red-faced walking heart attack, is treating his "temple" with honor but i have a cigar on the golf course 4 or 5 times a year so Jehovah is going to murder me at Armageddon?
What about the guy that drinks diet cola & chews sugar free gum? So he can drink aspartame and zero calorie chemicals and that is treating his "temple" with honor?
I think if cigars are a DF'ing offense then aspartame should be a DF'ing offense and so should whoppers and big macs and fish & chips. Then lets see what all these donut-eating-big-mac-eatiing-fat-fuck elders say about having a few cigars a year.
