Re: Mindfulness, fastfood restaurants and right/wrong livelihood
Jack,
Sorry, I guess there was some collateral damage. I guess tobacco really isn't including in the lists of intoxicants or poisons so you're really fine. I should have been more mindful of my underlying assumptions which cause me to view tobacco as nothing more than a toxic substance (I smoked two packs a day for over 10 years so I have quite an aversion now). Metta.

To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Hi Mike & Ben
Thanks for your responses. Indeed I hope I'll be out of the cancer stick business in just a few months. There was a day a few weeks ago where an older lady came in with pretty bad emphysema, she asked for 8 packets of cigarettes. I wanted to flat out refuse her, there should be a law against selling sick people cigarettes or something...

"For a disciple who has conviction in the Teacher's message & lives to penetrate it, what accords with the Dhamma is this:
'The Blessed One is the Teacher, I am a disciple. He is the one who knows, not I." - MN. 70 Kitagiri Sutta
