You would think twice before you put another cigarette in your mouth again if you have!!!!

i dont smoke but comprehend what your trying to obtain across. The trouble with smokers is they enjoy smoking thats why they do it.. if they select to harm themself then that is how they observe it.

Nope, but I'd never smoke

Not very a lot smokers obtain lung cancer, and smokers make up only a minute percentage of people with lung cancer. My FIL died of lung cancer. He was a non-smoker and got lung cancer from being laid bare to asbestos in the military. There are many of different methods someone gets lung cancer and smoking is NOT the major cause.

LMAO How naive of you!!! I smoke. I almost died from cancer also(I'm 29). I know exactly how chemo and radiation feel. I know what it's like to be facing death. You are making assumptions based on your own narrow minded conclusions. Please don't speak for everyone; you could only speak for yourself.



By the way, do you drive a car? Because if you had ever seen someone die from a traumatic injury received in a car crash, you would NEVER drive again.



Do you observe how faulty your logic is? Give me a thumbs down. I'm right.

Yes,my dad died of lung cancer.It took us all by surprise how few his final weeks were.

My grandfather died of lung cancer and had to obtain fluid drained off his lungs a lot times. He smoked cigarettes and the pipe for years.

I watched my mum die from Lung cancer in January of this year, 6 weeks after first being diagnosed.

She made my 2 sisters/3brothers all promise to stop smoking the day after her funeral, and to my utter shame i never managed it, i feel like total shite every time i light up but the truth is the pain of losing her is so raw and profound that i reach out for the fag's and spark up, i know it's a filthy dirty custom and robbed me of the best friend i'll ever have in my life

and having to hold her hand when she died was the the bulk horrific thing i've ever had to go via and should be the kick up the backside i need to give up, and i will give up, when im prepared and because i'd hate for my family to observe me suffer like mum did!

Allow me to be the little voice in the back of the room - I'm a life-long non-smoker, not even 40 yet. I'm also a 4.5 year survivor of stage III lung cancer. I've attached a support board specifically for lung cancer survivors, so yes, I've seen a lot die of lung cancer and read the painful stories of their last weeks.



Is that what keeps me from smoking? No, it's a custom I always cosidered was nasty and didn't want to start. I love a few smokers, not all of them have been able to quit. Doesn't make me love them less, but if they can't respect my health and not smoke in my presence, then we can't hang out together - there's always email and AT&T....



It will be easy to decide what to do or not do if we lived life backwards, we'd know exactly how long we had to live, and what we ultimately died of. We would know to stuff in every moment of living and never take it for granted...



Mortality has a technique of sneaking up on all of us. It doesn't matter, in the long run, how we live, we will ALL die, eventually.

i saw my dad die with Lung Cancer.....not slowly...within 8 weeks of being diagnosed the cancer took him....yes he smoked.....he also worked a lot years with asbestos....

yes i smoke and very like jackie a few above i cosidered he would give me the incentive to stop straight away....but losing a parent is very stressful and unfortunatley alot of us smokers use cigarettes as stress busters....

a few months b4 my dad got his diagnosis he had successfully managed to stop.....but when the GP came to his house to deliver the bad news...the first thing my dad wanted to do was light a ciggie up......when i went to observe him after hearing the news i nagged him about his smoking..(very few) but after a couple of days i halted nagging him.....he didn't need that!.....he was 62 when he died....and after having a post mortem we were told that asbestos was present in his lungs! His oncologist has since told us that dad perhaps had this disease 3 plus years..........

....I'm not angry with my dad for smoking for 40 years....i'm angry that in this day and age you ould have cosidered they would have picked up this disease on the xray dad had only 2 years before...

there are lots of drugs out there for a lot different cancers some that could cure and if not could absolutely extend and amplify ones life with cancer...but are they obtainable to the vast bulk of citizens that have contributed to their country all their working lives??? No they are not....Fact!

It is not Fact that smoking will cause you to obtain lung cancer....so if you want to obtain angry at people....please direct your anger to the right people....our government !

yes my uncle is dying from lung cancer. a year ago he was given 10-12 months to survive so he could die at any time. he means the world to me and it's heartbreaking to watch, even harder is the fact that his son is only 5 years old. i never smoked anyway and if i have kids im going to teach them from when they're very young that smoking is bad for you. however, smoking is a grave addiction, like being addicted to alcohol or drugs, and it's not as straight forward as you're making it sound. its many easier to not even beginning smoking in the first place, so education is the key.

Lung cancer isn't always cut and dry - as it doesn't pick whether -you are a smoker or non.. Cancer is Cancer and no-one really can say why it picks who it does or why..



My father battled lung cancer - with absetois (?sp) for 13mths..

Alot of people would say - oh - cause he was a smoker..

Yes he was BUT he quit smoking 15yrs ago.. In that time - he had his lung collapse for dissimilar medical reason - NO tumors then and about 7 yrs ago - a double bypass - Also No tumors..



The fact that he worked with abestos and was a painter (who was encouraged to smoke - helped with fumes) didn't aid - BUT it isn't WHAT caused or triggered his cancer..

He fought difficult to stay - but was concerned more for his family then himself..

My mother was diagonised with cancer 1mth b4 him - Her's was breast..



Me - i have smoker - on and off.. And cause my father has passed on from this disease DOESN"T mean i am going to tell people - Don't smoke - it's their choice - You can easier obtain hit by a car - but you will still go walking..



At his funeral - instead of flowers - we requested assistance for cancer research - FOR LUNG cancer research - As not much is know re this condition..
