Cold turkey - it's rough - but it is necessary but after thirty years he must have tried to quit before, if not well that is another story for sure.
Lung cancer is a bitch of a way to die the worst part is that you die, game over, everything is lost - plus what it does to your family - most die drowning in their own blood sounds like alot of fun, real sweet final memory for the family.
Yeah, a stroke followed by 10 years of bitter recriminations, left-hand wringing and dementia is so much better for the family.
Drowning in their own blood???
You really have no idea what you are talking about.
How many people have you watched die of lung cancer?
