Today, I went to work at a chemotherapy clinic. After explaining to a patient about the risks and benefits of chemotherapy for his underlying metastatic lung cancer, he asks is it OK to smoke during chemotherapy. FML

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

During chemo(as in actual chemo process, though I think that's just bad wording) is a bit exagerrated...But if the man's gonna go through stress and feeling himself die slowly, I don't see the problem. If you gotta go, might as well go with style.

Curious, Would the life insurance company care how he died as long as it wasn't fraudulent? Smoking is too slow of a suicide for them to care, unless he just recently got the policy.

Smoking(marijuana) kills cancer cells in the lungs, bro. Why do you think there's medicated weed? C'mon, brometheus.

Maybe he has a cunning plan to smoke so much his cancer gets cancer and dies.

Haha, wow just reminded me of my Papa. Smoked cigars the day before he had his tumor removed, and right up until the chemotherapy made him to sick to move or eat. It was sad to watch, but he figured that if he was going to die then he wasn't going to die depriving himself of anything, would he still be alive if he had never smoked? Probably, but if he had stopped when he found out he had cancer, he would probably still be dead.
