ok, sister is going to have 4-5 bypass surgery Monday.  She won't stop
smoking.  I stopped in October after about 30 years of it.  I still "want
to" at times, but I know so much damage has been done, and with the diabetes
I have and asthma, it would kill me.  My sister has T2 also, but she just
refuses to stop.  It's driving me nuts.  Mom is enabling her (and sister is
55).  Any great fact sheets for second hand smoking and diabetes, asthma
and/or elderly?  I have been studying it tonight.  I don't think she
understands the impact of harming others...I didn't when I smoked.

I doubt that the effects on others will motivate her. If
anything will, it will be her own risk. Sorry if that sounds
harsh - but I suspect that it's true. I didn't deliberately
put my wife and kids in jeopardy for thirty years as a
smoker - but I still did it. I just didn't believe the
scare-stories from others.

When I quit, it was because I chose to. No-one else.

I re-posted this a couple of months back. maybe some of the
links will help you.

I first posted this a while back, but we've had a lot of
newbies and I notice smoking is being discussed again.

As an ex-heavily-addicted smoker, I know how hard it was to
give up. Usually, scare stories only provide partial help -
but I'll pass these on anyway. Because I don't want to hear
from anyone, anywhere, claiming that smokes aren't harmful
to a diabetic.

Just do a simple google scholar search on those two words
"smoking+diabetes". This is a small sample of the 51,000+
hits.

Just one small snippet among many:

"Particularly, survival of smokers with diabetes on
hemodialysis is abysmal."

A previous poster, Annette, added a lot more info on the
evil weed in her reply to the original post - you'll find
that at http://tinyurl.com/hdnml

For the sake of those who love you (even if that's only
you), quit.

Cheers, Alan

Effects of smoking on systemic and intrarenal hemodynamics:

http://jasn.asnjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/15/1_suppl/S58
The mechanisms of smoking-induced renal damage are only
partly understood and comprise acute hemodynamic (e.g.,
increase in BP and presumably intraglomerular pressure) and
chronic effects (e.g., endothelial cell dysfunction). Renal
failure per se leads to an increased cardiovascular risk.
The latter is further aggravated by smoking. Particularly,
survival of smokers with diabetes on hemodialysis is
abysmal.

The epidemiological evidence linking smoking with insulin
resistance is considerable. This evidence is even more
convincing because there is a dose response relationship
between smoking and the risk of non-insulin dependent
diabetes (NIDDM). Similarly, there is a time-dependent
decrease in risk of NIDDM for those who quit smoking.
Insulin resistance (in the form of impaired glucose
tolerance, IGT) may precede the development of NIDDM. There
is a biochemical basis for the smoking-IGT/NIDDM
relationship. Smoking increases the risk of developing
diabetic complications like nephropathy, neuropathy and
retinopathy Smoking is also an independent risk factor for
myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality in NIDDM.

Results: At 5 years, 21.7% of special intervention

of follow-up, 731 patients died: 33% of lung cancer, 22% of
cardiovascular disease, 7.8% of respiratory disease other

was significantly lower in the special intervention group
than in the usual care group (8.83 per 1000 person-years vs.

Take her to a local Oncology clinic/center.

I have a guy who recently asked for time off work because he needs to
have biopsies done on his lymph nodes.  When asking for the time off
he revealed that he has already had 1 lung removed because of damage
done by smoking.

He is still a chain smoker.

Smoking for some people is a serious addiction.

Myself, I quit smoking after 22 years, the last half of that at 4
packs a day.  I quit the day before heart surgery.

Kris, Second hand smoke is terrible.  My mother was a victim of it.  My
stepfather smoked like five packs a day in her presence until she got
lymphoma.  It is never a good thing.

Since the    word Cancer doesnt scare her into not smoking, what makes
you think Kris that any information you pass to her will do the trick.  

All the health issues she has has not stopped her.  Lung cancer is a
terrible way to die.

I am sorry for you.  I am not sorry for your sister,  She has  choices.
I know she is addicted but there is always some kind of help to be
offered,  even rehab I suppose.

Only GOD can change her heart as HE has changed yours so that she
would know in her heart what you know in your heart that craving
("want to") cigarettes is wonderful because it means you are
definitely not smoking cigarettes.  It is the latter that is terribly
bad and not the craving (wanting) !

If you prayerfully ask GOD, in Jesus' name, to change your sister's
heart so that she can choose to quit smoking cigarettes, it is
possible that HE will.

A few people may be able to set aside their cravings using religion as
a lever.  A more general and reliable solution can be found in the
realms of clinical hypnosis.  It seems absurd that a purported
cardiologist would be promoting a supernatural solution in a sci.med
group.

   Why is that Mary ? Because you yourself and others like you demand

   I have some news for you Mary, I smoked 3 packs a day 15 years
   ago. I tried several things to quit and none did any good including
   raw will power. I finally gave up and prayed one morning for God to
remove the desire for cigarettes from me. @0 minutes later the desire
for a smoke lessened to nothing, I threw my cigarettes away and I've
never had the desire again. Yoy don't wipe out cravings like that with
sheer will power, I know this for fact because I tried it and I'm not a
weak willed person. So for you and the remainder of the professional
community that doubt the power of God, I'm the proof as are many others.

  What you, some in the medical communtiy, the professional communtiy,

opinions of God come in weighing really weak and anemic.

Where on earth do you get such ideas ?  I don't demand any such
thing.  Mental instability is often indicated by people overlapping
unconnected thoughts in a manner that is not reflected in day to day

A more scientific description is that calling upon a higher power to
override certain rules that you were following in your addiction is a
recognised psychological manouver.  It does not constitute proof of a
Creator, at least not in a sci. group.

Many scientists and doctors believe in a variety of religions.  Most
of them are courteous and disciplined enough not to bring their
religious views to scientific forums.

"The evidence for whether hypnosis yields outcomes superior to
placebos is mixed. In short, hypnosis cannot be considered a specific
and efficacious treatment for smoking cessation. Furthermore, in many
cases, it is impossible to rule out cognitive/behavioral and
educational interventions as the source of positive treatment gains
associated with hypnotic treatments. Hypnosis cannot, as yet, be
regarded as a well-established treatment for smoking cessation."

Christianity is not a religion but rather a relationship with the
risen LORD Jesus Christ.

Being openly Christian is no more an expression of religious views as
being openly American.

The brethren on LORD Jesus Christ are neither perfect nor more
special...

You expressed an opinion about HIS people which is tantamount to

A quick search of pubmed reveals a number of studies where hypnosis
has either been shown to be a significant and useful tool.
A good clinical psychologist has the choice of including hypnosis in
his tool box.

Anecdotal evidence asserting the power of prayer to a supernatural
being will have low weighting in a scientific context.  As long a the
person believes, prayer to a fire hydrant could have the same result.
That is, it is the beliefs entailed which resulted in the change.
There is no proof that the beliefs are valid.

You're just being silly.   I expressed an opinion that speculating
about the supernatural in a sci group is absurd.  I continue to assert
that it is.  What is more, I say that attempts to persuade otherwise
are ill-founded and deceitful.

It is no more an assertion than any other observation would be an

Observations are made and not proven.

Proof is not required for anything to be efficacious.

Instead, being efficacious is evidence amassing toward a proof, which
in reality never occurs for anything in science because of the
understanding that it only takes one exception to undermine a proof.

  I asked you a question, why do you find it absurd ? Have you ever

   Not at all, it looks like a question to me. Can you answer honestly
without bring the known rules of science into this, or is that asking
to much of you to do some deep introspection of your personal values
based on what you see in the world verses what science dictates to you ?

  And your answer above is not proof that the scientific conclusion
  you stated above applies in every circumstance. You have not observed

  What would constitute proof of a creator in your eyes, and are you

I don't care where you file my posts.  You're digging for my "bias"
has _nothing_ to do with a purported doctor resorting to the
supernatural in a sci group.  If someone complained that the wheel
fell off his car in rec.autos and a mechanic came back and said it was
God's will, that would be a sufficient explanation for you would it ?

For the why, it would be a sufficient explanation because anything
else would still be subject to GOD's will and only GOD knows HIS
reason for causing the wheel to fall off.

With GOD, the mechanic would then be able to explain how GOD caused
the wheel to fall off the car just as he might possibly be able to
explain how the wheels fell of the chariots of Pharaoh's army:

When you decided to lie, you sold your soul to the devil.  It is
obvious from your posts that you then went even lower and made
yourself host to a demon.  God preserves the free will of human souls
but manipulates demons as suits His Great Purpose.  Thus He forced you
to expose your own lies.  Your tricks will not work here satan.

I pray that one day, God Willing, the soul of Dr. Chung will find
strength in itself to ask Our Lord God, Creator of Heaven and Earth to
be rid of the foul pest which now inhabits his body.  A foul pest

One of us is lying.

Incorrect.

My soul has been purchased by LORD Jesus Christ with HIS blood:

It saddens me to read that you have unwisely chosen to blaspheme
against the Holy Spirit by calling HIM a demon.

"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but
blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven." -- LORD Jesus
Christ

Amen.

You have now become satan's sockpuppet (corporeal demon) because your
soul has died under the weight of eternal condemnation by GOD.
Without a soul you no longer have GOD's generous gift of free will and
instead you will continue to do only satan's will:

lord, satan.

Mary is right.  You are the one who is the demon, you with the
incretins in your saliva and ejaculate that smells like emesis, Demon
Chungfraud.

My discerning heart detects that you're more interested in your own
net.notoriety than actually leading people to Christ.

Everything about you is phony, perverse, corrupt.

That's your opinion, and from your replies so far, your opinion is of
less and less interest to me.  Especially when you promote scams like
the one below.  I've been wondering how anyone who was interested in
maintaining a professional standing could stoop so low.  The obvious
answer is that you have already written off your career and you're
simply engaged in silly power games on Usenet.  I wish you could see
how small your posts make you look.

If you're promoting Ron Wyatts Red Sea scam, you're doing the devils
work and serving the devil's purpose.  That you cannot see that merely
proves my point.

When you do the devil's work and sign it  in Jesus' love then you are
blaspheming.  You've convicted yourself.

The Red Sea crossing is neither a scam nor does it belong to Ron
Wyatt.

It remains one of GOD's miracles.

Here's another one for those who are interested...

Oh no you don't demon!  You won't get away with misinterpreting what I
wrote.  You support lies even when they are revealed as such.  Ron
Wyatt constructed a scam about the crossing of the Red Sea.  The truth
of the bible account of the Red Sea crossing is there for all to see.
You twist and you turn under the light of Truth Chung-demon but those
whom The Lord has blessed with discernment have no time for your
misdirections and lies.  I pray that God will choose in His Infinite
Mercy will rid Dr. Chung of his demon and return him to The Light.

I tried hypnosis once. The therapist kept mentioning cigarettes. He said the
word so many times that all I remember about the experience is the word
"cigarettes." I was so happy to get out of there so I could have a
cigarette.

If I'd had your experience, I would have been glad to get out of there
too.  Hypnotherapy isn't very well regulated.  That's why I specified
clinical hypnosis.  Taking someone into a hypnotic state is pretty
easy.  It's what you do once they are in the state that makes the
difference.

Without GOD's help, the clinician will simply not do the right thing.

As much as you've accomplished, you don't seem to be able to discern
fact from opinion.

How do you explain people quitting, with a belief in any type of god?
