You can be healed of smoking

Margaret Coleman Brown Poyser

Do you want to quit smoking, and yet somehow just can't seem to stop? Take heart. There is a way.

Mary Baker Eddy observes, "Puffing the obnoxious fumes of tobacco, or chewing a leaf naturally attractive to no creature except a loathsome worm, is at least disgusting" (Science and Health, p. 407). Many smokers have come to this conclusion, too, but they sometimes feel as though they are helpless slaves to the habit, unable to gain their freedom. Many who want to quit smoking, and have honestly tried through material remedies, find that even if relieved for a time, the old desire returns.

Christian Science reveals that there is a permanent solution to every problem. When one turns for help to the Christ, the healing truth God imparts to man, he is not offered empty promises. Those wishing to be healed of the smoking habit will find not only the desire gone, but regeneration as well.
