It wasn't pretty, for sure. He smoked for 20 years and quit 20 years ago. The fact that he had quit some years ago didn't really help him out much. He died within one month of his diagnosis. It was the saddest day of my life. He was only 60.
So, for all those folks who continue to smoke, you can pretty much count on having an early departure from this world. If that is what you want, then have at it. My dear brother thought he was in the clear, since he had stopped over 20 years ago. Nope.
One must consider all the risks we take, health wise, whether it be being over weight or smoke or have out of control diabetes or high blood pressure. It is often a choice in life style. It would be nice if we were all perfect, but we are not.
Smoking is a death sentence. I suspect your family will miss you. Just don't smoke around the people you love and don't want to have the same predictable ending as you will have.
Some people manage to survive the smoking experience. Most do not. Just that plain and simple. You want to die, keep smoking. It is your choice.
