That thing is his mouth cost him 10 years of his life, at least. Was it worth it? That was for him to judge.
You are right.
[cool pic, tho...]
He also smoked cigarettes. Higher risk for lung cancer than cigars and pipes. Or so I’m told.
I know cigar smokers claim they do not inhale. But my neighbor always had an UNLIT cigar in his mouth, never saw him without one. He got mouth, tongue, throat cancer and died. I know tobacco can kill. Could be the chemicals used curing the tobacco leaves, I don’t know. But it is not a good healthy thing to do, smoking.... I tried to talk a good friend into quitting smoking, she didn’t want to stop. She passed away young. My grandma smoked a lot and had a stroke and died young. My uncle, though, smoked at least two packs a day for about 80 years. Died at 91, lung cancer. Didn’t develop it till age 90. He was unusal case.
“That thing is his mouth cost him 10 years of his life, at least.”
More likely the cigarettes he smoked for decades. Of course, the cigars didn’t help.
The Lord will take you home when it’s. your time. I say enjoy life to its fullest.

You do not know that. Don’t be a presumptive idiot. Plenty of people who have never smoked a cigar have gotten lung cancer.
I’m not advocating smoking cigars or cigarettes, but I will say that Winston Churchill smoked them most of his life, and lived to be 90. George Burns was also a cigar smoker and lived to be 100. Sometimes it’s down to the person.
Sadly, that is exactly right.
The post was about the cool artwork contributed by the artist known as Sabo, in honor of Rush Limbaugh. Care to comment on it or are you just here to derail the discussion? Way to go Ahole.
I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Leukemia at age 52. Probably had it for two years before that diagnosis. After multiple rounds of Chemotherapy over a ten year period I was told I am in Remission.
Never drank, smoked or did drugs. Crap happens.
A Month after my initial diagnosis my 82 Year Old Father was diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoma. He went through one Chemo Regimen and within a year he was in Remission.
Before his Diagnosis, he drank like a Fish for 60 Years. Classic functional Alcoholic. He died at age 93 from a Post Operative Heart Attack after surgery for a twisted Bowel.
My Mother, a lifelong two pack a day Smoker died at age 80 from Kidney Failure. Her Heart and Lungs were fine and dandy.
Some people just get the short straw. That being said, I’ll bet the Cigarette Smoking over a couple of decades did Rush in. The Cigar Smoking later in life may have triggered something in his system for all we know.
May he Rest in Peace.
Some people are immune from their poor life choices while those around them pay the price for those same poor life choices. Being around my Mother’s second hand Cigarette smoke as a Child may well cause me some Health issues as I age. Time will tell.
>That thing is his mouth cost him 10 years of his life, at least. Was it worth it? That was for him to judge.
No, he smoked cigarettes until the 2000s and finally quit when he started vaping.
That’s what killed him.
The number one cause of death is: Life!
We all make choices on how to live it. It’s our God given right. Even the most clean living; doing everything right, amongst us, can and do, die young.
He also smoked those electronic cigarettes that are full of nicotine.
Another FReeper that spouts his opinion as if were a fact.
You issue a declarative statement that the fact that Rush smoked cigars, was the reason he developed lung cancer, and he died 10 years before his time.
How does it feel to have God's knowledge?
I am so sick of idiots like you, with opinions running to the keyboard as if they knew what in the hell they were bloviating about.
Apology for your denigration of Rush's actions, accepted.
