I respect everyone's right to smoke even though I think it's quite likely a self imposed death sentence. I hope they all find something like e-cigarettes to maybe save their lives. It's just how I look at it, obviously not the popular view in light of all the demonization of them that's been going on.
My dad died too early as well. Smoked the whole time I knew him.
I tried to get him into ecigs (They helped me quit after smoking for 30 years), but he just couldn’t get used to it.
Almost everyone used to smoke, that was just the culture. The vaping fad may reveal another as yet unknown disease that may kill many. Popcorn lung is what they are calling the first thing to show up.
No one forces people to pick up a vice, its just human nature to try things.
The results can be sad.
