I eventually stopped smoking about 1 yr 1/2 ago, but I remember my annoying ex-sister in law always making comments about me smoking. One day me and her got in a biggo argument and it was then and there that I told her, "DO I ASK YOU FOR MONEY TO BUY MY CIGARETTES" to which she had absolutely nothing to say. After that she never ever made a comment again lol!!  |

I know how that feels... I'm not a vegetarian but a lot of my friends are, and whenever I make a post that involves eating meat, or thinking about meat, or not wanting to be a vegetarian because I personally think it weirds up the natural order, they go off on me and how "killing animals for out benefit is wrong, duuuuuuude" and all of that stuff, but I'm not pushy about it, so they have no reason to be (don't take any offense to this comment, vegetarians, I like you but I don't agree with you and please don't hate me._.). It's super annoying, so I definitely know where you're coming from. Also, <insert comment harassing you about smoking here>.  |

They bug you because they care. So try not to let it get to you so much. You're an adult, you know the risks. As far as "God is telling you ....", that applies to a lot of things. It would not be impolite to remind them of these verses: Matthew 7:1-5 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. I, personally, have no problem with other people smoking. Like most things in life, if done in moderation, it is probably OK. Call me that 'rare Christian' who gets it  I have close friends who strongly disagree with me. Unfortunately, our society has been brainwashed into a "cigarettes/tobacco/smoking are evil" mentality. Do you know what OTHER country we resemble in this respect? HITLER's GERMANY. Most tend to forget that there are a LOT of other things which many people do/participate in that harm others far more than smoking ever will. I view it as harming oneself (possibly) and only an irritant to others. They need to quit whining. If you quit smoking, they'll just find something else to annoy you about.On the lighter side, you could always reply "I smoke because you smell bad."  |

I think speaking up shouldn't be taken as "rude or brash," you have the right to say how you feel and be polite about it. Or you just don't have to make comments about smoking on your facebook...what a world we live in today where people would get hurt for being "unfriended" on a webpage. But, it's the way of the world now. Best of luck.   |

so you're smoking? seriously you should know better. thats a nasty habit and it makes you stink.........OK OK I AM TOTALLY MESSING WITH YOU!! in fact at this very minute i have an unlit one sticking in my mouth! i was on my way outside to smoke a few minutes ago when the phone rang and then i thought i'd jump on here for a minute so........... you may want to think about saying something like i say when people rag on me about things and then bring God into it. i just tell them that my relationship with the Lord is MY business. It's between me and Him and its nobody else's business and if they don't like it they can pray for me if they feel the need but i don't want to hear it and i won't debate it. that usually shuts them up! going out the door now.............  |

you can also go through your privacy settings and essentially block her from liking or commenting on any of your status updates |

Maybe you should just block her from reading what you post on your wall, instead of blocking her. I had to do that with my Aunts and Grandparents.  |

Tell her to LET GO AND LET GOD, that is what they say anyhow, right? Tell her to just let go and let God handle your vices, she is free from her devil's hold on your lifestyle habits. Bless her in the name of Jesus to begone her grief over what you do. That ought to shake it up but the truth always hurts.  |

The fact they say that god thinks you should stop is a bit childish.  |

I have never smoked, and I can say that I don't quite understand the addiction .. but I would never put someone down for doing it. I am concerned for some friends and family who still smoke, but other than a friendly thought or offer of support if they should ever think of quitting .. I just drop it at that. I'm sorry you have gone through this harassment Mel.  |

Tell her it is too late to stop smoking, She should be afraid you are going to burst into flames if she keeps it up. -lol Rad.. |

Have a smoke, girl, to relax. Then ask these two how they know what God is telling you . . . And if they are able to give you an answer, then you might respond with, "Well, He's telling you two to quit giving me grief about smoking." God Bless.  |

So they have a direct line to God now and he is telling them what to say. WOW aren't they just the lucky little buggers...Sorry, but stuff like that irritates me to NOOOOOO end. Genuine concern is one thing, but when you have to do it in the name of God I get very frustrated. They could state their opinion, you could answer and then leave it at that. Ask them to have a chat with God for you..since they have this direct line and they KNOW what God likes and doesn't like...ask them if they could have God send you the winning lottery numbers! If you win the lottery, you will know that God REALLY does want you to quit smoking! haha! Oh and if you win..remember me!! :P:P  |

Thank you all for your input! I did reply to them privately and tell them it was my own business and now I have refrained from making my business known on FB. I just didn't think a harmless comment would bring down a hailstorm on me. Just very irritating... |
