Recent studies have confirmed the existence of a dangerous strain of disease that has a 100% mortality rate.
Research is currently being conducted into the disease, currently known as "Life" and methods to eradicate it.

I say ; "anyone born after 1960 should not be eligible for any medical subsistance related to nicotine if they CHOOSE to kill themselves after all the publicity smoking has gotten over the years." Great idea, along with "anyone born after 1960 should not be eligible for any medical subsistance (sic) related to eating if they are fat if they CHOOSE to kill themselves after all the publicity about overeating has gotten over the years."
And, "anyone born after 1960 should not be eligible for any medical subsistance (sic) related to heart conditions or diabetes if they CHOOSE to kill themselves after all the publicity on lack of exercise, being overweight and eating properly has gotten over the years."
This list could go on and on. Give people in all health categories a break--we are all going to die, it is a matter of picking your poison.
Not to worry, designer babies are on the horizon and diseases will be selected out. A real conservative mind-set.

Sorry to hear of your MIL......
I would suggest to you that there are many forms of COPD....and that your MIL more than likely had an infection/pneumonia...that caused excess secretions..and/or she had an inability to clear her own secretions.
Unfortunately I have treated many end-stage COPD'ers...and it can actually be a fairly "easy" way to go. The pt. often enough just can not ventilate effectively and their CO2 level climbs until they are basically unaware of what is happening....They just "go to sleep".
So, in my experience...it's not exactly as you have described.
FWIW-

You could put a bullet into the chamber of a revolver, spin the chamber, cock the hammer and pull the trigger, and you'd still be making a healthier choice than you sorry bunch of consumptive addicts. Not the healthiest thing to do? That's an understatement of the likes even Baghdad Bob would be ashamed of.You win!!
About the most moronic post I've read in months............

I can only hope this was the case for my father. He told my mother it was ok to go home. She had been at the house maybe 10 minutes after a 5 minute drive there, when the hospital called. I think he knew.

Sorry to hear my friend.....
You would be surprised how often a loved one is told to go......and the pt. passes away after they have left.
Happens a lot.....

If you crossed the street 20-60 times a day for 25 years your risk of dying from being hit by a car would go way up. Nah, the Nanny's would moan and groan about the choices these unworthy people made to cross the street so many times claiming they are not worthy of care because of their choice. Then they would lobby to get laws past telling you where to cross the street and how many times.
I thought FR was a conservative web-site.

I say ; "anyone born after 1960 should not be eligible for any medical subsistance related to nicotine if they CHOOSE to kill themselves after all the publicity smoking has gotten over the years." I say: Anyone with that type attitude needs to refund all the excess taxes smokers have paid....and until they do they need to kep their mouths SHUT.
Oh, and BTW - if nicotine is your problem, I suggest you stay aways from tomatoes and peppers and eggplant and the rest of the fruits and veggies that are members of the nightshade family.

"Which means that 75% NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM, so why not report it that way?!"
Good for you. Your interpretation (and mine) will never see the light of day,
The public brainwashing by the anti-smokers continues.

With that logic, just strap a bomb to your back and get it over with. Better yet, grab some leaves, roll them up in some paper, start it on fire and breathe it. Smoking is SOOOO COOOL!!! (Sarcasm off...) I enjoy partaking in natures gifts of tobacco & beer, not bombs you stupid fool! Also, i don't do stuff like smoking to be cool. You must, though, to try to make up for some shortcoming, based on your weak logic.

I totally agree with you, and generally I do - but there are just times when I get totally fed up with the bovine excrement they continuously put out, that the DBM sucks up and regurgitates and the sheeple accept as gospel.

Got data?What kind of data? Conclusively linking lung cancer to smoking? You tell me what you want, I'll get it for you.
