    Hi,

`This is a very interesting topic for me as well.
I have been smoking for years, and I have decided to take action about one year ago.
Since then, I have analysed what smoking means for me, why do I do it and what effects does it have.
I had more or less the same opinion as you do (that is, hey, even mr bardon did it so it cannot be that bad)
but Mr. Bardon was not a normal guy and he could probably disperse all ill effects of smoking with one single
meditation. I, on the other hand, cannot.
For me, smoking is not about the physical problems it brings (and it does bring) but it is more about self control
and being in control, opposite of being controlled by it.
My major turning point was when I decided to stop. The first few days where really bad, but after a week or so
I could feel the difference. After a month, I thought I was behaving very well and I decided to smoke one cigarette.
Since then, I have been on and off, but every time I start/stop is with more consciousness about it and less addiction.
For times I feel I change the polarity of it, going from absolute anti-smoking fanatic to compulsive smoker.
Right now I think the real issue is the consciousness of the act, and the perception of the loss of self-control when
smoking (i.e. urge to smoke without being my real will; an addiction without being wanted).
I am not sure what is Rawn's path on smoking, but I'm almost sure he will agree that in any smoker's Soul Mirror there
will be dozens, if not hundreds, of minor reasons for smoking, usually in the negative side. (lack of self-confidence, lack
of self-control, boredom, etc...)`
`Regarding impregnation, I personally think that when you are consciently and knowingly inhaling something harmful, it is
quite hard to impregnate that moment with a positive thing. Even if this happens at the sub-conscient level (which is much
more powerful than our conscient level, I think).`

    Anyway, enough rambling, and good luck on your smoking ;)

    take care,

    paulo

As far as reading the posted messages I have never read something concerning this topic. The question is if it is possible using the akasha principle to impregnate our desires into tobacco. I believe it is possible. I also believe that there is nothing wrong with smoking and it very simple enjoyable pleasure.`
