My mate has emphysema.
It's his own fault for smoking 40 a day, I say, but it still makes me :( and worry for him. He's on inhalers, and he says his lungs haven't felt so good in years. If he hadn't been smoking for so long, he might not have felt so awful.

It's enough to put you off for life seeing what smoking does to people. Blah.

:(

Not enough for me, I'm afraid.
I'll quit when I start breeding. Till then.... sod it.

I was never really keen on the
whole "smoking" malarkey. I'll stick to my own vices, alcohol, deep fried haggis and triple-choc-chip-cookies

One of my grandads died at 64 of that.
The other one died at 86 from a stroke, and smoked to the end. Meh.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandad,
and not kicking, crying and screaming like his passengers.

My grandad died during the holocaust.
He fell out the guard tower.

if we took that as a scientific poll - which it isn't of course
then you're willing to bet on a 50% chance of shortened life and a really horrible death for the joy of cigs.

These aren't great odds.

No, not really.
I couldn't be bothered thinking of anything meaningful to say, so just stated how my grandparents died.

My gran died at 86, also having seemingly smoked since her teens (she worked in the cigareette factory that used to exist in dundalk)

haha, this.
I'm going to a party/picnic thing with work colleagues on Saturday, one with new twins. I know I'm going to get handed one at some point and then everyone will wander off.

Well it's nice for them.
Just tell them you don't want it. You can do that you know

I think it'd be a bit rude.
I'll just conveniently be elsewhere.

Say you'd love to but don't think you should
as you've already dropped three babies in the last year.
