Smoking....is It Worth It?

[nailit]

Ive smoked for most of my life until a few years ago, had the occasional relapse but got back on the wagon.
My sisters husband gave up about 15 yrs ago after his leg ulcerated and burst due to blocked arteries. Since then he has had lung cancer and had part of lung removed. More recently his ulcerated leg has got to the point where he now has to have an amputation. He was due to meet with the aneathetist in two weeks but since then has been taken into hospital after becoming ill where they find that he once again has (now, inoperable) lung cancer. On top of that two of his toes on his 'good' leg have started to turn black.
He often said that the worst thing that he did was to start smoking.
Now he's stuck in hospital and shafted all ways it seems.

My sister now' not only has to contend with our mothers terminal cancer but also her husband's of 45 years.

My son smokes. I understand the addiction but wish he would knock it on the head while he is still young.
So, smoking. Is it really worth it?

Thank you Anne. Apology accepted.

Oh and just for the record I didn't report it so don't know whether someone else did or a mod removed it of their own volition.

[anneasquith]

L b. It matters not a bit who did the reporting/removal, the post upset you. Never my intention. Bobbie seems to get the gist of my post. But I’m happy just for you to know , that no I’ll intent was meant .

[ladybirder]

No it doesn't Anne, I agree. But although Bobbi didn't see anything wrong with it, obviously whoever reported it or removed it did, so it wasn't just me.
I was unsure of what you were meaning, that is why I queried it at 12.51.
Anyway, we're all sorted now so let's say "end of".
