They had been smokers and some were still puffing on their cancer sticks while slowly moving their walkers up and down the hallways just waiting to meet the Grim Reaper. It was their choice but still the tax payers were having to help pay for some of their damn expensive treatments. They had most likely been warned but decided to take up the habit anyway. The smoking discussions will be around for a long time with no end in sight. I have three offspring (now adults) who have never smoked and I believe it was mainly because I had strongly impressed them at a young age to not start the nasty habit.
OK, flame away but please don't use the flame to light one up.
The point was missed. I was trying to say lets regulate other things that are not healthy. By the way both of the things I mentioned have their own ward in a hospital. It is the pulmonary ward. And heart disease causes more death then cancer.
