My apologies to you personally for referencing the recent loss of your husband. The loss of my family members to smoking related illness was counted as simply another insignificant anecdote.

You've made your nasty assumptions and heartless comments and been rightfully called on it. YOU have NO RIGHT to impugn Maine Rebel since YOU have no idea what caused his untimely death. So keep your mouth shut about things you know nothing about and you won't get slammed.

Good Grief, why not add insult to injury?

What an utterly heartless comment to make.

SheLion made no reference to your personal loss in her post in response to yours.

When I read your post about your relatives I said a prayer for the repose of their souls and another to them.

However, anecdotes are not scientific evidence. They are valid information for comparison, don't you agree?

The same type of circumstances you describe where someone didn't die should be given the same wieght? Shouldn't it?
