Study recommends total ban on smoking for soldiers – CNN.com.

This is a tough one.

How can we tell a soldier after being up for 20-some hours on duty protecting that which we treasure most they can’t have a cigarette?

That nicotine probably keeps him/her up long enough to endure. Maybe not a cigarette. It could be a chew of tobacco. Have you ever stood post for a 24hr period. Lives are in your hands?

Yep, I’m a huge non-smoking advocate

But, this is a difficult pill to swallow.

Hmm…

Carpe Diem
