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?
She wants to engage in an unhealthy voluntary activity
What are you, nuts? She's 93 years old!
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.
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.
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.
Please reread the article - there was never any mention of her smoking in her room or unattended.........they had a smoking room for crying out loud.
What if she was a pedophile and wanted me to bring her a small child? blah, blah, blah.
Get real, will you? We're talking about a cigarette. What's with your hysteria over the subject? You seem to think that because she's 93, she must be addlepated. Believe it or not, some people are capable of weighing risks and rewards without the unwelcome advice of busybodies and making a decision all on their own. Imagine that. It's her decision to make, not yours.
Did you read the article? Her daughter said smoking is the only pleasure she has left. She wants to partake of that one small pleasure, but the righteous legions of smoke Nazis want to make sure they take even that from her, in the name of "health."

I'm quite sure that the smoking room (before the Nazis closed it) was supervised. The fact that there was a smoking room indicates that smoking was not allowed in the occupants' rooms.
Priorities Madame Dufarge, priorities.
Whose? Yours?
I don't think so.
