Jedi do not smoke.

LOL :laugh: Keep going buddy

But, eh, my great grandfather started smoking when he was nine and died when he was 101

Imo. Smoking ain't always the biggest self-destruction factor. But it is always a major limiting factor.

Thx. Maybe, without smoking, he'd still be alive - we never know.

Well said.

If you were a known Jedi, and you were smoking in public, I could totally see a stranger coming up to you and saying: "Jedi don't smoke... what are you doing?"

Same with me and junk food. "Jedi aren't fat and out of shape, though.. how can you be a Jedi?"

We really need to quit telling each other how to be Jedi. How about everybody just does what is in their heart and we all stop acting like we know better?

This is off topic, but I think that it's not "telling others how to be a Jedi", but encouraging others to be better Jedi. And I think we can all use the help. All of us. It's healthy to support each other in being better. We should expect that our fellow Jedi want to help us, not judge us.

Snowy... Assumptions.. I never told anybody how to be a Jedi.

@Leah put it right. Smoker may be a Jedi, but without cigarettes he'll make a better one.

@Snowy - I think, we can tell each other how to be a better Jedi as long as it's practical like - do not eat too much fastfood & so on.

As of a "Jedi do not smoke." - it's a better slogan then "Jedi sometimes smoke, but it isn't good for them, so it will be better if they didn't. Let's try not to smoke!"

4th day without cigarettes.

Smoke still smells good when I walk past smoking people. Friend made fun of me, telling 1 cigarette ain't forbidden. And I even don't want this 1 cigarette - I have ~the same amount of positiveness by not smoking as I 'd have by smoking.

TELL me how to be better at anything without my asking, and I may use a few "un-jedi" like words to remind you to "mind your garden, and I'll mind mine"....

And, then I'll ask you read my avatar.....

The loophole is that we can show each other how to be better Jedi just by doing it.

I'm inspired every day by the Knights here, and they are better teachers for never "telling" me how to be a Jedi.
