My mom died of COPD (emphysema) from smoking 2 to 3 packs a day. She even took her little oxygen tank into the smoking room of her assisted living facility. She sneaked cigarettes into and smoked in her private room, totally forbidden.
She also said that she'd rather smoke than breathe.
I think that cigarettes or nicotine are as addictive as heroin.
I don't know, I've never tried either.

There is something so sad about this. I swear elderly have to go back to teenager type activities of sneaking around. I am a non-smoker, but I definitely think that everyone should be able to do what the heck they want as an adult. Goodness didn't she give enough to society to be able to have a cigarette when she wanted. I am sorry that she had a rough death, but it seems like she went the way she wanted. I am really sorry that you had to see your mom pass away.
