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.

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.
Smokers are both insulin resistant and lipid intolerant.

Intervention: The intervention was a 10-week smoking

and 12 group sessions using behavior modification and
nicotine gum, plus either ipratropium or a placebo inhaler.
Results: At 5 years, 21.7% of special intervention
participants had stopped smoking since study entry compared
with 5.4% of usual care participants. After up to 14.5 years
of follow-up, 731 patients died: 33% of lung cancer, 22% of
cardiovascular disease, 7.8% of respiratory disease other
than cancer, and 2.3% of unknown causes. All-cause mortality
was significantly lower in the special intervention group
than in the usual care group (8.83 per 1000 person-years vs.
10.38 per 1000 person-years; P = 0.03). The hazard ratio for
mortality in the usual care group compared with the special
intervention group was 1.18 (95% CI, 1.02 to 1.37).
Differences in death rates for both lung cancer and

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.

i stoped smoking aobut 36 years ago in the middle of a newcast tht first
announced that second hand smoke harmed those round you. I wa, at the
time, the mother of 2 small boyss and a teenaged daughhter. I put down
the cigarette I was smokeing and never smoked agian. I had known that it
waw "bad fo rme," but I had brought these children into this world and
couldn' see harming them like that. It wasn't easy, but that served as my
motivaion.

Hi Kris .... there is nothing anyone can say to her that
will "make" her stop. It has to come from within herself.
I just got back from a week visiting my mom. She is 86 and
just went through open heart surgery one week ago today. After
being in that environment, I will say that if the experience of going
through open heart surgery is not enough to get your sister to quit,
then just give up as there is absolutely nothing you can do. There
are people that want to quit and just can't do it, and there are the
people that never even try ... those folks are the most frustrating
for the rest of us.
There is nothing to be gained by trying to "force" her to do anything.
Hopefully she will get the message when that hammer drops on her
chest Monday. Hope the surgery works out well for her.

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.
Mary.
Why is that Mary ? Because you yourself and others like you demand
faith be exterminated, or simply becaue praying to someone unseen
indicates mental instability in your view ?
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,
and myself were to lame to do for me God did. So, in my view your
opinions of God come in weighing really weak and anemic.

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."

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.

All smokers know the impact of second hand smoke. We're just as
intelligent as non-smokers. We're just addicts. You can't make your
sister quit anymore than she could have made you quit before November.
I quit a 3 pack a day habit almost 3 years ago. Being smober felt so
damn good I wanted to make the rest of the world quit along with me.
It took awhile to learn that no matter how I expressed myself, no
matter how many times I expressed myself, there was absolutely nothing
I could say to another human being to make them quit smoking. There
was absolutely nothing anyone could tell me to make me quit before I
made that decision for myself.
I understand exactly how you feel. After having a massive coronary
and having 3 cardiac stents placed in Feb. of this year my husband
still smokes. After my recent diagnosis of emphysema he still smokes.
He, like most smokers, claims he "enjoys it." Truth is that little
white paper tube fill with poison is stronger than he is.
I hope your sister's surgery goes well and I hope the pain and
inconvenience of recovery will help her make the decision to put down
the stink sticks for good.

I asked you a question, why do you find it absurd ? Have you ever
searched for God and His Presence, or is that also something science
ruled from the start as ridiculous ? This isn't sarcasm by the way, I'm
trying to uncover the ROOT of your bias.

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
me in this situation so your conclusion is impractical and invalid.
What would constitute proof of a creator in your eyes, and are you
certain that you would recognize it as proof ? After all, God is an
unknown factor thrown into the equation, how can a human know what
to expect of something that reaches beyond his senses ?
An electron cannot be seen with the naked eye, yet it's affects CAN
be seen. I see no scientists running around decrying the existence
of electrons, have you ?
If you answer these questions then we have a valid reason to discuss
this topic, otherwise your observations in your first post will go
into file 13 as "cheap shots".

If I'd had your experience, I would have been glad to get out of there

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.

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 ?
Mary
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:

GOD's purpose for me here remains to inform and not to argue.
Refraining from argument is not censorship.
Bottomline:
You are untruthful.
Actually, the context is about how difficult it is for a rich man to
give up his wealth (or for anyone to give up what s/he falsely
believes s/he needs) to follow Jesus to go to heaven.
Begin Scripture reading (Matthew 19:23-26):
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is
easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of God."
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked,
"Who then can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with
God all things are possible."

Amen.

You know that I am telling the truth, or you wouldn't keep dishonestly
snipping it.
You know what people are trying to say, or you wouldn't keep pretending you
don't understand it.
YOU DON'T WIN ARGUMENTS BY RUNNING AWAY FROM THEM.
Now, the point is: Prayer doesn't work, people like you are able to get
away with fooling themselves that it does because you ignore what doesn't
suit your beliefs, and jump up and down shouting "told you so" when the
normal distribution of probability accidentally yields the desired results.
You're supposed to be a doctor, and you claim to be a scientist. For
goodness' sake, what kind of doctor or scientist replaces honest debate
with superstitious babble? I believe somebody else asked you the same
question, and is still waiting for an answer. You aren't getting away with
it. That's a promise.

When you decided to lie, you sold your soul to the devil. It is

but manipulates demons as suits His Great Purpose. Thus He forced you

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
which has issued forth blasphemy upon blasphemy and lie upon lie.

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.

Not for me to see.

Sad to read about this.

Sad to read about this too.

There is pleasure for those who crave (want) the cigarette smoking.

The addiction arises from the false belief that the craving (wanting)
is bad and must be "satisfied."
The addiction ends when there has been a change of heart which you
have had where you now see smoking cigarettes as poisonous so that the
craving (wanting) is wonderful because it automatically means you are
not smoking.
Only GOD can change our hearts.
Many thanks, much praise, and all the glory to GOD for HIS changing
your heart :-)

That would be my wish for Kris' sister too.

Nothing happens by accident when everything the world would credit to
chance happens by GOD (Proverbs 16:33).

right to convict you:

Americans killed in the occupation of Iraq as of August 11, 2007 is 3,689.
United Kingdom = 168 Other = 129.
How many more Americans must die to satisfy Bush's ego?
Let us all pray for Bush - God knows he needs it!
As of Augest 12, 2007 it has been 15654 days since Bush
while standing in front of the banner which was sent
to the ship by the White House saying MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
declared,"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our
allies have prevailed." IOW MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Isn't Bush's "surge" of troops working well?
Pay attention to the frequency of American deaths since it began.
