You said, in part: But if I ever have to go to a nursing home, and they want to cut off my smoking JUST SHOOT ME!!

I think nursing homes should provide smoking lounges or residence areas for smokers. That said, is smoking really THAT important that you'd rather die than live without tobacco? Either smoking is REALLY REALLY fun (I never smoked, but my parents and sister do/did: mother died at 43, father quit, sister still smokes) or the addiction degrades reasoning skills.

It is a pleasure. Smoking enhances my quality of life. I don't drink. I don't do drugs. Cigarettes are a legal commodity. Why do you fault me for enjoying smoking in my life? You don't pay my bills and you certainly don't pay for my cigarettes. A lot of people in this life have something that they truly enjoy. To me, smoking is one of them.
Oh! I had a grandmother who smoked 3 packs of unfiltered Camels a day and lived to be 86. Sorry for your loss!
Coffee and cigarettes are ME!!!
