Smoking is a dirty, nasty, deadly habit. If you wish to use your own free volition to continue smoking that is up to you. You should quit if you want to do the right thing, but again that is up to you. You have the freedom to smoke but you also have the moral duty to quit. If you don't like that then ignore it. You have probably been ignoring it for years anyway.
The military has a right to decide personal should not smoke while on duty.
On the whole you have "put words in my mouth" and exercised great condemnation. As far as I am concerned you have been a pretty nasty bunch to chat with. I think it is your addicting habit and "need" to justify it that has caused your bad attitude.
I hope you all quit and I also hope the best for you. Please enjoy this thread without me as I have spent enough time and effort trying to convince you that the military has the right and is right for not allowing smoking while on duty. You have a different opinion and are entitled to it. Like Richard Nixon said "You won't have Bellflower to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last post on this thread." Good night and God Bless.
Poor baby - you can't handle the fact that you brought the nastiness to this thread and so you run away...........sure doesn't say very much about your "convictions," does it?
Who you think you are telling other people what their "moral duty" is, totally baffles me. Your moral duty is to mind your own business.
Actually it is probably for the better that you leave this thrad...............your kind is not welcome in these discussions.
