My brother just called. His friend, age 32, just died from throat cancer. He had just gone through chemo and surgery where they cut almost everything out of him from ear to shoulder.
Yes, he was a heavy smoker.
What a tragedy. So young. So stupid. So senseless.
Of course, all the nicotine addicts will probably say it was because he wore an asbestos ski mask or was a coal miner or something.
