Cigarettes......
8o years old and he's just finally accepted that he DOES in fact have Emphysema and COPD and a dodgy leg! At least 60 years of paying today's equivalent of about £5 a day.....about £110,000! Fucking hell Dad! I've been telling you it's a waste of money for the last 36 years and I'm 44!

Anyway........ he's decided to cut down a bit now!

Inheritance.......?
No fucking chance! I'm paying for him! That's what sons do!
I appreciate your points of view.... and of course everyone has a right to do to themselves whatever they wish without harming others, but I just genuinely wish he'd enjoyed it all! Rather than perhaps a few early years of enjoyment and then decades of enslavement to it, and all the affectation and self-justification that smokers have to make use of, whilst panicking because they've run out and there's no one to cadge from!
I've never yet met an Ex-smoker who says giving up was a mistake?
There's a notable lack of 80 year old lifelong smokers popping in here to say..."I'm fucked now and in great pain, but you know what.... it was bloody well worth it!"

He'd have been smoking back in the day
When smoking was seen as no harm done.

I have a really good friend whose dad started at 14 and smoked until he passed away.

He even went to hospital for it. When he came home, he was told in no uncertain terms, 'keep smoking and die very quickly'. He tried to smoke on the sly. He was caught, but the family realised they couldn't stop him.

Tragic
