I watched my father die from cigarettes. He had advanced emphysema and copd. The last 5 years of his life consisted of sitting at the kitchen table eating high powered meds that fucked up his health and using a nebulizer and lets not forget the ever present oxygen tank he nicknamed "Tony".

My dad died gasping for air. His lungs were pumping as hard as a marathon runners, but they couldn't absorb oxygen or expel the co2 fast enough because the tar had coated his lung alveoli and they could no longer exchange the gasses efficiently enough to sustain life. In hospice he had they doctors/staff remove the CPAP long enough to tell all of us he was tired and wanted to give up. They removed the CPAC and he was conscious with us for a couple of hours and then his eyes rolled up and he passed out because of the climbing co2 levels in his blood. He hung in there for another 6 hours before he finally passed.

Quit now, or pretend you didn't read this and enjoy your smokes, continue to be big tobacco's lil' bitch at $7.00 a pack and die a miserable death.

I hope you choose life.
