I always wanted to smack the cigarettes out of her hands. She never listened to me and oh well I guess she's no one's friend but her own anyways. I hope she doesn't actually die from it.

Ever heard the word "insensitive".
My Dad is dying of lung cancer right now - he stopped smoking at the age of (about) 70 - he is 84. What earthly (or heavenly) good would it do to berate and belittle him on his death bed. His habit was deadly - and he is the one dying.
I smoked, and quit - many years ago - long before Dad did - I wonder if I will die from it? If I do I hope there is someone just a teensy bit more compassionate by my bedside - I don't think hearing - "It's your own fault" - would be comforting to anyone but the speaker of those unfeeling words.
I sit at my Dad's side and tell him I love him and I'll miss him. Thanks for asking.

Telling the certainty is often ultimate, notably in situations like this. it is going to likely be no longer undemanding, tearful and extremely emotional. in spite of the undeniable fact that, definitely everyone desires time to comply with it and spend time jointly on an identical time as they'd rejoice with that factor. the tip won't be the final memories, so as that they desire happy ones to help compensate. toddlers can safeguard dying ok, extra helpful than some adults. it is usually forgotten as adults prefer to guard toddlers. in spite of the undeniable fact that, as unlucky as dying is, it is between the certainties of existence and something all of us would desire to safeguard. a no longer undemanding lesson to income first, yet gets much less stressful.

People catch lung cancer from driving in traffic as well. Yet we all zealously defend our right to drive alone on a crowded freeway in our Hummers.
Whats your point?

I was by the bedside of a dear friend who at 46 died of breast cancer. Her tumor was on the chest wall behind the breast and not detectable with a mammogram. She was a non-smoker!

No, I sit by them but never criticise anything they have done right or wrong in their life. I try to let them know that I am with them and will help them anyway i can.

Are you joking ?
You should be there for them not criticizing them.
Show some love what is done is done, and it looks like nothing can change the events that are happening.

No, I cried when my father died from cancer at home. I saw his last breath. It crushed my spirit. Do I wish he took better care of himself, yes. What did I say to him? I love you. Did he hear me? I don't know.
