However, rules are rules. If the only thing in life she enjoys are cigarettes she can move her butt outside in her wheelchair ... or find something else to enjoy.

You're all forking HEART, aren't you!  Maybe someday YOU will have to go to a home.  Let's see how happy YOU are!

Gee, somehow I came across as being a heartless bastard. I'm not. I smoke. And if I'm in my 90's and in a wheelchair and living in a home but the only way I can smoke is to go outside, well I guess I'll just go outside. They make electric wheelchairs and automatic doors, for cryin' out loud.

And a no-smoking policy in a home is a very good idea. One semi-coherant Alzheimer's patient falls asleep smoking and a dozen moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas go up in flames.

I used to work in a nursing home. Your cartoon reminded me of one old lady who had a plaque up on her wall which read :

There once was a lady who never drank smoked cussed or anything. She lived to be a hundred and five and regreted every minute of it.

She must have been a real firecracker in her day.
