why is a 65 yro in a nursing home unless he has serious medical issues that can not be managed at Home.....why then is the the govt paying the bills for these people when they continue to do self-harm?

if he wants to smoke that's one thing.....if he wants a free govt ride and a free home and free care, then maybe this man should have quit smoking ....

its like allowing liver transplant patients to go out and have a 3 martini lunch.....

That's what I was thinking. Nobody forced this genius to sit outside in the cold to smoke, it was his decision. Let's see, stay inside where it's warm and don't smoke or go outside in sub freezing temps to have a cig. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

65 years old, in a nursing home, needs a cigarette so bad he will sit outside in sub-freezing weather to have one. I'm guessing emphysema or cancer and his family was sick to death of caring for this cigarette addicted lame brain at home.

The guy figures he's going to die anyway. There's a reason why nursing homes allow smoking.
