Stupidity
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
So there are two females in my lab who are very physically active. They work out regularly, eat healthy (salads, carrots, red pepper (raw), oatmeal for lunch), they run 5 and 10k races, go hiking etc. Yet, after all this activity............ THEY SMOKE! How stupid is that? This has nothing to do with ignorance. One got her Phd when she was 26 and the other one is a Phd candidate at 23.
My mentor smokes also. I was pretty shocked the first day i saw him puffing away.
I don't understand. It's really stupid. Why bother with trying to be healthy when u puff away at cancer sticks everyday.
If anyone reading this is guilty of said practice (being a health nut and smoking at the same time), i hope u feel offended because it is a really idiotic thing to do. Senseless, i tell ya!
On a sad note, this dude at my lab just told me of a pharmacist who works where he works (he's a pharmacy tech). She just turned 40, she has been feeling sick for a couple of days. 2 days ago she couldn't breathe. She finally went to see a doctor, long story short, they have found out that she has stage 4 pancreatic cancer which has spread to her lungs, liver and other parts of her body. She has been given 6-12months to live. How sad is that? 40 yrs old is pretty young these day.
I don't know if she was a smoker or not!
