CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I quite nearly 5 months ago and it's one of the best things I've done in my life.
To give up succesfully you truly in your heart have to want to give up, and have to be prepared to accept the fact that you will never ever smoke a cigarette in your life. ever. End of story. No more smoking again, ever. Not even another drag. Ever.
I also used patches for three weeks, then nothing. The first 10 weeks were hard, then it settled down for a few weeks, then for another few weeks I constantly wanted a cigarette all day.
Anyway, if your fiance would like more advice on giving up smoking I have a whole load of stuff I prepared for others who were considering giving up. Just let me know and I'll post it here.
I pray for her success!

I'm a smoker and I know how hard it is to quit. The best thing you can do for her is love her despite this habit. What I mean is don't pressure her to quit, that will only make her smoke more. And she has to want to quit for herself, not because you want her too. It is something that only God and the person themselves can work on. Because if she quits for you she is more likely to start back up, resent you, and/or sneak around and smoke. It ain't easy to do. I quit for nine months once and went back. It's a struggle. No matter how much you want her to quit, or how angry you get it ain't gonna help her one bit. Like I said before she has to want to quit for herself, not you. So just give it to the Lord, and let him do the work, you just love her and support her. Let her know that you will love her no matter what she does. It helps greatly to know that someone loves you no matter if you quit smoking or not. Be supportive and loving, it's the best thing you can do. Will keep you in my prayers
