Why would being a smoker stop you from being spiritual? The most famous non smoker I can think of off hand was Adolf Hitler and his kind of spirituality we can do without.

Like you, Fraser, I can't really see the connection between smoking and sprituality.

I agree... however George Harrison had given up smoking many years before his death and was quite vocal about regretting his years as a smoker... more or less everyone did back in the 50's, it wasn't considered a dangerous and addictive pastime until later on...
They're locking them up today, they're throwing away the key...I wonder who it be tomorrow, you or me?

A tenuous connection at best

I could name you plenty of spiritual people who don't
but tiit for tat proves nothing

Look around the world smoking rates are decreasing except in the third world where the tobacco companies are doing what they did to the first world.

Being spiritual doesn't necessarily mean your going to make smarter choices as many of you seem to be suggesting/thinking
