Yeah, they all smoke over there. Sitting around smoking is a national past time. Quite common for chain smokers to smoke 3 - 4 packs a day. And yes, a lot of these people struggling to feed their families are spending money on cigarettes. Most of their tobacco has cloves in it, I am convinced this makes it more addictive.
Yes I noticed that too! Once I found out how cheap their packet of cigarettes were!
Compared to the high cost of it here in our country!
Just recently I mentioned to hubby how Indonesia Covid rate is soaring!
And then remembered they are big smokers there! Poor lungs have a hard time surviving all those issues!!
Something I read ages ago about feng shui/yin and Yan…with date we are born related to one of these 5 elements… wood, metal, water, fire, earth etc which explains why some can smoke and live until 90 and others decades less.
This might explain it better.
Chinese Astrology and Smoking explained.
In Chinese astrology, Metal element represents the respiratory systems of our body, the Lungs, throats and noses.
For cigarette which is made of tobacco leaf. It is the wood element. When smoking, a cigarette is lit and burnt. Wood enhances fire and fire conquers metal. (Metal melts under high temperature) Fire burns the respiratory systems (metal).
In Chinese Astrology theory, each person was born with one of the Five Elements. Any of this Five Element can be strong or weak. For example a person born with Metal Element, this Metal element can be Strong or weak. If a person was born with weak Metal Element, then fire can conquer this weak metal person. This person if smoke he or she will be easily getting cancers or respiratory systems problems. On other hand, if a person was born with Strong Metal Element, or Strong Wood Element then smoking will not be too much of harm to his/her respiratory system.
So a person with weak metal element, smoking will kill him. When I am writing this article I remember sometimes ago there was some news about a Tasmania Premier: James Becon (15th May 1950 to June 2004). He was only 54 years when he died of lung cancer. I looked up his birthday data. He was born on the 15th May 1950. 15th of May was a metal day in Snake (fire) month. He was a weak metal. He was a smoker for over thirty years. More interestingly he was died in June (Fire Month) and fire day. Spooky!! I reckon if he would have quitted smoking, he would be still alive today!
All in all, there are a few things we can learn from this case. Firstly, people born with weak metal element, smoking is dangerous for them. Secondly the Chinese calendar system, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches can also be applied to people born in south hemisphere. And thirdly, people with weak metal better quit smoking.
This is the theory behind Chinese Astrology and smoking.
Lastly a question for you to think about: why some people get soar throat after having a BBQ?
