smoking???

Question

my brother smokes a pack a day, has for over 50 years, his wife who did not smoke, but nagged him about his smoking all her life, just died of long cancer, is this poetic justice??

Answer 1

you bet ye, but it would be even more poetic justice if you got run over by her funeral procession and die

Answer 2

Well that is something that medical profession and science technology needs to see. All humans have some cancer cells. The name cancer is given when a doctor really do not not know how to cure or what is really wrong with a person. Prayer everyone is the divine and physical cure for any and all illness. My aunt also died of cancer and never smolked a day in her life. My grandmother smoked a corn pipe until she was over a hudred years old. During those days of course cigarettes was not contaminated as they are today. I bet if every person that is smoking was given a right to sue the tobacco industry, then they would come up with a cure with their cigarettes for people to safely smoke or the government should send them completely out of business. After all why can they not be charged with murder due to reason they claim the cigarettes are killing people. Seems fair to me cause others get charged for murder.

Answer 3

My first wife lost an uncle to lung cancer. He was 42 years old. He was born to a Mormon family in Utah, lived there his entire life, never smoked, never worked around smokers, his wife didn't smoke and the list goes on and on.

My Grandmother died at 94 and it wasn't cancer of any kind. She had dipped snuff all her life. Damn bus!!!

The only problem is both cases are anecdotal. they may be the cases that prove the rule.

I don't pay much attention to a lot of this stuff. I am 59 years old and the stuff that has been outlawed to preserve our health should have ganged up and killed me at least 50 years ago. I recommend living until you die and quit trying to exist to some magically ripe old age.

And, I could say the same thing about global cooling in the 70s, the hole in the ozone in the 80s & 90s and now we have global warming. In my lifetime we have all frozen, died of skin cancer, melted, were poisoned by DDT and god only knows what I am forgetting.

Cheers

Answer 4

I have known people that not only did not smoke, but was so allergic to it that she had to avoid going out in public, no one in her family smoked, but she died of lung cancer.
My father smoked right up until his death 1994 (he was one of those at the testing grounds out west for some radio-active something WWII)....his lungs were fine, mother quit smoking around 1970, she died of intestinal cancer.....go figure. I've been smoking since age 13 and yes I worked and payed for my own smokes @ 2 pks/day, I'm 49 now @ 1-1/2 pks/day, the only physical problem I have is I know if I quit I will gain ungodly amounts of weight. Go figure!

Answer 5

I stopped 8 months ago after almost 50 years and feel no better or worse but do miss them. I know more none smokers who have died than smokers. It's a conspiracy from the government testing stuff in our atmosphere. LOL
Peace
