My father died of lung cancer at 73. My second-oldest sister, and my mother both died of lung cancer at the age 69. My only brother died of a massive heart attack at 51, and my oldest sister, who had been an alcoholic most of her life, and lived in institutions for the majority of her adult life, died of a stroke in 2014 at the age of 74. Had she been living on the street, she never would have lived that long. I'm the only one to have made it past 74. My only goal now is to not outlive my kids. My youngest son, age 53 is a colon cancer survivor. Just got his 5 year clearance, and the dumb ass still smokes.
Smoking has cost your family dearly. I wish the best to you and yours, maybe your son will wake up at some point. My Dad smoked, but he quit cold turkey waaay back in the early 1960s. I can still remember him smoking. He never smoked another one. My younger brother in law still smokes, cigarettes AND pot, and drinks like a fish. He’s in his early 60s. I honestly don’t know how he’s still alive. He can barely talk, his voice is hoarse from all those years of abusing his body. I didn’t smoke, was a moderate drinker, am I AM THE ONE who needed a new liver……go figure…
