Or emphysema, or a stroke, or a heart attack, et al...
They can't help it. They're junkies. Junkies don't think straight.
Please don't confuse them with the facts.
This is strictly an emotional debate...
And besides, emphysema, strokes and heart attacks are all junk science.
Emphysema is a terrible and frightening disease for the vics. My step-mother died of it. My neighbor smoked for years and had the disease, lived tied to an oxygen machine and panicked in great fear if he felt himself losing his ability to breath. He died last month in agony. Miserable way to die!
