I am convinced that this was the main cause of my 84 year old Mom's dying in 2003.

We had to move her from assisted living to a nursing home, as she required a higher level of care, and naturally, the "home" was smoke-free.

When they took her smokes away, she went to sleep, and refused to wake up.

No longer taking the medicines she needed to sustain life, she died after a few days.

Honest to God, you can't win for losing when dealing with fanatics- my Dad quit smoking in his seventies, and when he died 25 years later, one of the damn Docs pronounced, "Yep, the smoking did it..."

It's too easy to just blame everything on smoking.  When "they" don't know the real truth, they just spew "Yep, it's the smoking."  They get right off the hook with that statement.  Very very sad...............
