Doctors Petition The Vatican to Ban Smoking

[Formosus]

Question to smokers: If the Magesterium decided smoking was sinful…would you quit?

Yes, but its not going to happen. St. Pius X was an avid cigar smoker.

In a heartbeat, but I might have to go to daily confession for awhile

I gave it up some time ago, but feeling your pain, my friend!!

Really? I think I will start a apostalte: the SSPXCC (Society of St. Pius X Cigar Club) Are there even any good Italian cigars?

How can they be arrogant? They are medically and logically correct in what they do, smoking is detrimental to one’s health, in particular, tobacco.

So it eating Doritos. Let’s ban them.

I seem to recall someone trying to ban Oreos once. Didn’t sit too well with me. My milk would be WAY lonely!

***Well ***- The good doctors of the world may be in for a bit of a backfire then. Isn’t it amazing - that suddenly they want the Head of the Catholic Church - (you know, the Church who speaks against abortion and is told it has no right to impose its views on others???) - these docs now want the Church to put its Papal Stamp on their desires?

Since the Pope already upholds the Church’s / Vatican City’s stand against abortion, I’d say the physicians of the world would be hard-pressed to convince the Holy Father - that people will listen to his “Smoke Free” declaration - considering how few listen to his Pro-Life views. They may have the best of intentions - but it takes gall in light of the above - This news item takes the cake!
