Today, my mother called me and told me that she went to the hospital. This wasn't a surprise 'cos she normally goes to the hospital for the smallest things. I was a smartass and asked, "What now? You finally have lung cancer from all those cigarettes?" Apparently, she does. FML

Today, my grandmother - who has been a heavy smoker for almost forty years, and does not believe in the dangers of smoking - was diagnosed with COPD. Also, I'm now at a greater risk of developing COPD because of her (and my parents, who also smoke). FML

sue her, or file abuse charges. Of she told you that, she is aware that what she is doing is wrong, and dangerous. You could come out ahead!

It depends on how much she smokes around you and how long she's been doing it, but it is a possibility...did you say something along the lines of "if I do, it'll be your fault"?
