BTW people, my uncle died of emphysema today. Was a lifeling smoker of non-filter cigs.

EDIT: If any of you are smokers, go visit a hospital where theres terminal lung-cancer patients and watch them slowly suffocate to death!!!!

I guarantee you, you'll never smoke again


And now I'm going to bed

Take it easy Esco. Just remember that life goes on for many others that you love and are close to you. Stay strong for them and yourself.

We werent real close or anything but its still not a pleasant experience to watch someone take their last terminal breath.

I really hope they outlaw cigs soon, they serve no purpose in society

Other than making you look really, really cool. (Yeah, right)



Sorry about your uncle - it is a terrible way to die.

Sincere condolances, Esco. So you were being serious in that other thread. Damn.

Your next round when we're in the same place is on me.

My Aunt died of emphysema a few years ago. Life long smoker. Started when she was 15, died when she was 82. How she got away with it that long I have no idea, but she never gave it up either. I remember sitting in a restaurant with her, oxygen tank at her side, and her pulling away the tube from her nose so that she could have a smoke. I immediately closed the valve as she had forgotten to, and I was afraid she might blow us all up. Smoking is that insidious.

Bro

sooner or later we all must pass on. How you live will help determin how you pass. However we all must accept our choices

I lost my mom to COPD a few years back

She knew her choices were killing her.

 

[Esco!]

Sorry to hear about your uncle, esco.

Beer's on me. Whaddyalike? I've got some good 12-year-old scotch too, if you're interested.

LOL...I'm way too hung over to drink

I agree, you live by the choices you make.

Stupid thing is after watching my uncle die my aunt just keeps on smoking

Yeah, well, like I said. It's that insidious. After awhile it ceases to be a choice in any real sense.

 

[shawnbg]

Esco, you could always use a drink, but my condolences for your loss.

 

[papasmerf]

Friend of mine smoked for 40 years
Was hit by a bus and died

Every smoker...including me...knows what the prospects are.

Same as hobbyists I guess in that there is always a possibility in this day and age of contracting a disease. Certainly the odds may be lower but many choose to take the risk.

I'm sorry for your loss and I know it's hard to watch someone die when you feel it was needless.

We make personal choices. And we live based on our decisions. For me I'd rather die by the sword knowing I lived by the sword. I don't want to die knowing I was totally absorbed in living as long as I possibly could. Too much of life would have passed by me unoticed.

It's a toss up to be certain on which route is best.

But a life well lived, even though it's shortened is a better one.

Esco, I meant what I said: if you show up at either of the Halloween parties, ask for Viewer and I'm buying.

Or we could all go over to Carcharias's and sample his fine 12yo Macallan.
