It's the spark of independence this old gal is showing that's scaring the hell out of them.Truer words were never spoken.
To: republicangel
I guess it would end when you blow a big puff of nasty smoke Nice to know that it's all about you.
To: SheLion
LOL! BRAVO! That is a fabulous picture! Do you wonder why we love you so much?!

My husband's aunt was 91 the last time she came to visit on a cold winter weekend, my MIL made her smoke outside.You should have intervened.
To: lewislynn
Why sould they do anything special just to accommodate her smoking habit?Quality of life?
To: SheLion
Daughter Joan Mock, 68, says it is the only thing she has left that keeps her happy. This is very sad, but it is a personal problem, not the nursing home's problem. Sorry - this may sound callous, but if those are the rules, then those are the rules.

you drug addicts Ever eat fast food?
You're next.

They care not one bit for the wishes of others. Neither do you.

I agree that rules are rules, but the woman has lived there for 10 years and now they seem to be changing them?

Better to have 70 years of freedom, fun, pork chops and beer than 80 years of yogurt, regimens, raw plant sticks and anal retentiveness.You said it, my FRiend! And don't forget, "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees."
To: xrp
FYI, smoking is not part of health care.So, quality of life and peace of mind are not part of health care.
Interesting.
To: elkfersupper
Ever eat fast food?Yes, about 1x every 2 weeks.
I wasn't aware of any business or private property that has banned the consumption of fast food.

I thought it laughable that they wouldn't give a dying man his last wish... Same thing happened to the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Friends of Bill failed him at the end (for the same reason, BTW).
Sorry for your loss.
To: beckysueb
However, my husband and I both were considerate smokers.I used to be like that.
Now, I just tend to smoke wherever I want. Got that "fill-up-the-door" thing going on, and I'm plenty tired of being polite.
To: elkfersupper

LOL! yeah there's nothing like smoke to enhance one's "quality of life"...
BTW, I guess she (and every other non-smoker) had no "quality of life" for the 83yrs prior to starting smoking.

The heartless ones are those who would force others to inhale their carbon monoxide and tar.You folks are really starting to creep me out.
I understood for awhile, but.......
To: SheLion
I agree with you on a lot of things, but not this.
It's a nursing home where lots of the patients probably have respiratory problems.
If she's hale enough to smoke, she's hale enough to go outside.

They tried to make it non-smoking, but the people signed on to a smoking facility and the NH has to abide by the contract. Besides, we have around 50 or so elderly who smoke. That's a chunk of change to lose. The smokers are supervised and cannot have tobacco or lighters in their rooms. It's working out nicely, but the smoking nazis still complain about them.
