Nobody has ever actually died from using a microwave, but if stupidity were fatal, I’m fairly certain some people here would be in serious trouble.

A microwave isn't going to kill you, sure, but cancer certainly can... and it took my father.

One really shouldn't play around when it comes to carcinogens.

Figure out what it was that drove you to start smoking in the first place, then go ahead and cut that thing out of your life for good.

Those two things often go hand in hand, and one can actually facilitate the other. Seeking God and pursuing smoking cessation... I personally know quite a few people who found their way out of addiction through faith.

Since smoking is so often driven by underlying psychological stressors—more so than just pure habit or social pressure—it stands to reason that quitting becomes significantly easier if you find a way to address that root mental or emotional issue.

If you ask God to deliver you from that dependency, He will...

I don't mean to sound like a zealot, but I truly have seen many people seek divine help to be freed from the craving, only to find that the desire and the compulsion simply vanish.

Good luck with the transition... above all, just stay honest with yourself.
