Today, in front of a hospital, I noticed that an old lady was having trouble lighting her cigarette because she had Parkison's. So I went to help her to light it up and she then started chatting with me and told me she had lung cancer. FML

Today, I walked past a few of my coworkers sitting outside smoking. As I got a whiff of the smoke, I coughed. They immediately started to defend their habit, and I was told to "mind my own fucking business." I wasn't trying to be rude; I'm actually allergic to cigarette smoke. FML

Today, I went to the dentist. After drilling my teeth for what seemed like hours, he gave me a long speech about how if I continue to smoke, the yellowing of my teeth won't be the only problem. I don't smoke. I never have. FML

Today, my doctor told me my asthma was being triggered by my dad's smoking. He wrote a note to my dad, asking him to refrain from smoking while around me. My dad took one look at the note, then threw it in the trash, saying the doctor "doesn't know what he's talking about." FML

Today, once again I tried to convince my dad to stop smoking. And once again, while I was speaking, he lit up a cigarette and smoked until my asthma flared up and I was wheezing so hard that I had to leave the room. FML

Don't worry OP. Natural selection is LITERALLY in the process of weeding him out. Smile knowingly and say, "as much as you like sir" :) :D :) ;)

I had to go through chemo a few years back. You wouldn't believe the number of people that wheel their IV poles from the cancer center to smoke outside. Idiots. We don't want them in the gene pool anyway.

We don't need you and your opinion in the gene pool either. If someone decides to smoke til the bitter end, its their choice. doesn't harm you. And if smoking got them their cancer, they might as well stick with it.

I ******* hate people that don't take care of their health. There I said it. I understand OP's pain, I'd hate to take care of someone who doesn't take care of himself. Waste my time? I don't think so. Next Patient, please!!!

Do you have the same opinion of fat people and aids patients? They have also brought about their own demise. If you do I applaud you. If not please remember, nobody likes a hypocrite.
