Charley Kills Buttsucker

[Guy Meilleur]

One of 3 deaths in Ft. Myers from the hurricane was a guy who couldn't stay inside the shelter because of nicotine cravings. Went outside to suck on a butt. Tree killed him.

Big price to pay for a crappy little buzz from a cancer stick.

I agree!!!

They should have had somewhere inside to smoke! No consideration at all, eh?

I blame his death on the non-smokers!!!

So, lets see that is 1,345,563,879,234,456 to 1 now? Or did i miss one?

Im with ya 110% on that one Butch. Lets all keep smokin and take our time dying of cancer. Hey, at least Im smokin all natural, no additive cigarettes now. But I still go through a can of Copenhagen a day. My groundie hates it when he gets tobacco juice accidentally spit on him.

I'm partial to those 'all natural' cigarettes, also!

:angel:

Take your time dyin'--and you call that a good thing? Be careful; you may get what you wish for.

I sat with my aunt while she died of lung cancer. Weeks of agony, screaming, crying, begging to die sooner. If she's have handed me a pistol I'd have had a real moral conundrum.

My leukemia, if it does kill me, may or may not take too long. For my sake, I hope it's real slow and painless and nondebilitating. But for my survivors' sakes, I hope it's quick.

Not the type of "all natural" smokes I was talking about, Butch. Although I am kinda partial to those to. Hey, Guy, the way I see it, its my body and my lungs, If I do wind up getting cancer and its terminal, all I can say is my .45 behind the ear will bring about a swift end.

I heard that Julia Childs just died in her sleep the other day. That has got to be one of the best ways to go. Just go to sleep and never wake up.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Not me. I wanna be wide-awake when I cross over.

I would HATE to die in my sleep.

Smoking kills alot of people indirectly, car accidents, people sneaking off somewhere they shouldnt be etc.

Should get on the copenhagen if he had the need.

The father in law died on the 3rd hole of the golf course, just wilted as he was about to swing. Can't beat that. Just yesterday A fellow was sitting in his car in my yard while his wife picked some beans. I noticed he had a hacking cough and I jokingly said "you sound like some of those young fellows that been smoking some cheap weed. He replied I wish I could get some for the pain, I'm dying of lung cancer. They gave me 4 months at Christmas, so it is one day at a time. Needless to say I felt like a heel!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I woulda scored some killer for the 'ole boy!

 

[Crofter]

He said his doctor is checking on some by prescription. She has never prescribed it. I have heard that that stuff is only about 4%. The painkiller he is getting pretty much knocks him out and he said he didn't want to miss any of the time he had left. He seemed at peace. He has been a Uranium miner and a heavy smoker.

 

[MasterBlaster]

My next-door neighbor, Dottie, died awhile back from then big c. She didn't smoke, I guess it was the non-smoking cancer. She was a pretty cool old gal, my friend for 15+ years.
I slipped her a 'lil sumptin-sumptin once in awhile.

Here's to ya, Dorthy!!!

I just read that Charlie Watts has throat cancer. Seems he was diagnosed earlier in the year. I have no clue if he smoked or not.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm quitting again as soon as the weather permits it. The patch don't stick too well when you sweat a lot.

I work with a guy that just finished chemo treatments on throat cancer. Said he quit smoking 17 years ago, but that's what dr.s put the blame on.

Well, she was half pickled anyways.

Speaking of cancer...

Does anybody ever stop and consider the multitude of other sources you're exposed to every day?

Car exhaust.

Electromagnetic radiation... LOTS of it.

Sunlight.

etc etc etc

Just banned smoking in indoor workplaces here. Bummer.

That includes BARS. Gimme a break... some sot is sitting there drinking his liver away, and they're worried about whether he gets cancer from second-hand?
