My mom is on permanent oxygen for the rest of her life, which won't be long, because of her bad lungs. She hasn't left her house since March because, unlike most people, getting Coronavirus would be a death sentence. When I visited her recently, I couldn't even touch her, and we had a glass door between us the entire time. I couldn't hug my mom.
The problem isn't that smokers are too stupid to understand the negative health effects...
I also witnessed a grandmother dying for years of emphysema, on oxygen, yelling for people to stop blocking the draft from the window to her. She went into a coma and died, as most do at the end. My grandpa didn't survive much longer after she passed away.. as old men typically do..
I come from a long line of smokers, and it wasn't so long ago when it was totally normal to sit on the couch beside your dad who was smoking, or ride in the car to school with him smoking and windows up. The 80s and 90s were peak awesome, but with it came certain harms for sure. Is it any wonder I started smoking at 11, (quit when I got caught and punished) and picked it back up at 20?

*Does that help?
Yeah of course it helps.
