“Don’t smoke, people. Not cigarettes, not cigars, not anything else, not even a little bit.”
Yep, lost too many friends and family to this nasty habit.
Lost my dad to it. One of the things that broke my heart - and ANGERED me at the same time was watching him die of COPD at the age of 58 - and watching him smoke a camel with an oxygen mask on because of that habit (addiction), knowing he had two grandsons to live for - and just could not quit.
He was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything or anybody - and could will himself to go to work (as a pipefitter) when he had the flu and a 103 fever and even with a broken big toe and so many other hardships - but he couldn't say no to the cigerettes
