Name one good reason they should buy cigarettes for her. And "because she wants to smoke" doesn't cut it.

I don't care whether it "cuts" it or not with you, Oberfeuhrer. That is a perfect reason to provide her the cigarettes.

She wants to engage in an unhealthy voluntary activity

What are you, nuts? She's 93 years old!

Are you totally devoid of common sense? Are you so hellbent on judging how other people live that you're completely blind to your own enormous faults, not the least of which narcissistic pecksniffery.

Oberfeurer? lol. What would you say if she was an alcoholic and wanted to drink? Would you buy her liquor and let her drink to her hearts content?

I don't get it. Are you saying that she's going to die soon so it's okay if she smokes? That's what passes for compassion? In that case, she's going to die soon so it's okay if she goes outside to smoke too.

I had to look up pecksniffery. Is there any particular reason why you feel the need to end every exchange with a personal insult?

As for common sense, common sense dictates that you don't give a lighter and cigarettes to a 93 year old woman in a nursing home unless you're a total idiot. Houses burn down because young healthy people are careless. And you want a wheelchair bound person to smoke in her room? What's she going to do if she drops her cigarette on the carpet? Or on her bed? You're just not thinking straight. You think that banning smoking anywhere is tantamount to cutting off somebodies head. Priorities Madame Dufarge, priorities.
