Thread Name: BS: Smoker/Non-Smoker?
Subject: RE: BS: Smoker/Non-Smoker?
Non-smoker, brought up in a family of smokers. Watched my 30-a-day mum drown from the fluid in her lungs, caused by emphysema. Constantly gob-smacked at the sheer suicidal stupidity of smokers, many of whom are otherwise sensible and intelligent people, and flabbergasted that our laws still allow them to kill others as well as themselves. As we move into an age where a parent who smacks a child will be declared a criminal, how can smokers, who wilfully poison those around them, be allowed to get away with it? Something stinks (as do smokers, in my experience).
