I believe what I really wanted to know was, how do I evaluate things not specifically stated in the Bible? You have definitely answered my question. I appreciate your help and shared the information on my social media page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356673368207341414.post-91588516183490117782014-09-14T22:40:06.227-04:002014-09-14T22:40:06.227-04:00Shawn Thomas,

I wanted scripture reference to support my DISAPPROVAL for evening thinking that I would be OK with him being like 'the world.' This can open up more avenues for the enemy to form STRONGHOLDs in our life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811492967361627188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356673368207341414.post-68021688570055738602013-10-15T22:51:25.065-04:002013-10-15T22:51:25.065-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356673368207341414.post-47172827996529832662013-10-15T22:42:58.980-04:002013-10-15T22:42:58.980-04:00Electronic cigarette smoking is on the rise and on...Electronic cigarette smoking is on the rise and one day might grow hugely in Canada.<br /><br />The data was reflected in a U.S. report on Friday and backed up by anecdotal evidence in Vancouver, where a woman was spotted at a Canucks game last season “lighting up” in the stands.<br /><br />“My son pointed her out to me,” said Dr. Milan Khara, medical lead at Vancouver General Hospital’s stop smoking clinic.<br /><br />“She was producing profuse amounts of ‘smoke.’ It looked much like a regular cigarette but was an e-cigarette. Security told her to stop,” he said.<br /><br />Khara said e-cigs are a “huge, growing story in Canada.”<br /><br />“It will potentially become a massive issue here,” he said.<br /><br />Two substances are located within the e-cig’s tube: heat-producing batteries and a chamber holding liquid.<br /><br />When combined, the liquid is turned into a cool vapour which is drawn into the lungs.<br /><br />The liquids can be vegetable, fruit-flavoured and nicotine-based, but the latter is not legally available in Canada. However, it can be purchased in the U.S. or obtained via Internet sources.<br /><br />The e-cigs are created to appear like traditional smokes with ‘brown filters’ at one end and a red glow at the other.<br /><br />When loaded with liquid nicotine, they produce many of the same effects as tobacco combustion.<br /><br />The difference, said Khara, is that users avoid the “thousands” of unhealthy chemicals contained in traditional cigarette smoke.<br /><br />“E-cigarettes are certainly not as harmful as traditional cigarettes, but we believe they are not without any harm,” he said.<br /><br />West Vancouver e-smoker Gary Adelson has lit up in the men’s washroom at work and puffed quietly on airlines without being told to stop.<br /><br />“I don’t have to finish the cigarette. I can take one puff and then stop,” he said. “I’m not going to start a fire.<br /><br />“I believe they have a life-altering potential by being able to reduce numbers of fatalities,” he said.<br /><br />Staff at the Cigar Store Emporium on West 6th in Vancouver said business has grown steadily since e-products went on sale six months ago.<br /><br />“We’ve seen quite a rise in peoples’ interest,” said staffer Bill Newton.<br /><br />“They usually want to quit traditional smoking and are quite surprised to find out the nicotine juice is not available in Canada,” he said.<br /><br />E-cigs with rechargeable batteries cost $65. The liquid chambers are refillable and equivalent to about two packs of cigarettes.<br /><br />“People see these things as a cheaper option,” said Newton.<br /><br />Khara said more study needs to be done on health-related questions. His dilemma is whether to advise tobacco-smoking patients to switch to e-products.<br /><br />He said definitive answers are hard to come by because clearcut evidence has not yet been found about the medical effects which e-products produce.<br /><br />“The principle for looking at e-cigarettes with interest will be because they don’t have thousands of (harmful) chemicals,” he said.<br /><br />Khara said big changes in the field are likely in the future.<br /><br />“The big tobacco companies are on record as saying they believe there will be huge growth,” he said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356673368207341414.post-84329596682463237262013-07-25T02:38:38.071-04:002013-07-25T02:38:38.071-04:00You can find a number of healthcare professionals ...You can find a number of healthcare professionals discouraging sheesha and hookah unlike the way they do the cigarettes. Though comparing the two you may find hookah as a better option, but if you want to lead a healthy and peaceful life, it is recommended not to try them too often.hookah flavorshttp://www.hookahnection.comnoreply@blogger.com
