Back around the year 2000, EWTN interviewed Sr. Margherita Marchione who compiled the Pictorial Life of Pope Pius XII, published by Paulist press.
During the interview I remember her saying that Pius XII used to "bum cigarettes from the members of the Swiss Guard" but she didn't include any pictures of him smoking in the book.

Our kickboxing teacher, a former champion of France has a cigarette after every training session. 

At the Chartres pilgrimage, some would be smoking at the end of the daily 30 mile hike. 

The key is moderation and to ensure the habit doesn't own you. I don't smoke anymore but I find agressive anti smokers very annoying. It seems to be a hangover from puritanism that Catholics in protestant countries sometimes display.

That "knowledge" comes from the same Machine that lies constantly, injects babies with poison and is trying to maim, sterilize or kill just about everyone on earth.  The lies about tobacco are, like all the others, just lies.

I smoke what I want -- pipe, cigarette, cigar -- where and when I want.  I have told numerous busybodies throughout Traddieland -- usually in a parking lot after Holy Mass -- to mind their own business.
:facepalm:
That Machine will tell people just enough truth to get them to swallow a bigger lie or tyranny. It's the latter in the case of smoking. The Machine is more concerned about controlling people by getting them to realize the diseased effects of smoking, hence, the population accepts government controls and regulation regarding public smoking. This is a strategy to get the population to accept further controls on their behavior because it's "for their well being" or "public health". It's called incremental or creeping tyranny. It's conditioning. Understand, fool?

I bet your VO2max is pathetic.

Completely nailed it. Thank you. I had someone come in to buy smokes that was wearing a portable oxygen tank. So the Machine is getting people both broke (a pack is $12 here) and sicker.

I live in a former Catholic country, and it's the same. People see smokers as the Devil himself.

I think that moderation is possible with cigars and pipes, but I have yet to see a person who smokes cigarettes with moderation. The nicotine is too addictive, as I understand. With cigars and pipes you barely absorb any nicotine at all, that's why you don't get addicted to it. You get no "high".
