Description
Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of my uncle's death. My mother's brother was an avid smoker, smoking about 60 cigarettes a day.
Although he was warned and asked from all sides to cut down on his tobacco consumption, his lifestyle remained unchanged.
Until the day when, during a dental visit, the attending physician pointed out a tumor in his throat and urged him to get checked out immediately at the hospital!
And so he did...and he stayed there until his death, about four weeks later.
The cancer had already spread widely; he should have changed his habits much, much earlier...

Every Day.
OMG! 60 a DAY?? Wow.
I've never understood the fascination of smoking - sucking all that nasty smoke into your lungs.
Many years ago when I was still in my late teens, a guy offered me his cigarette. I took one draw off of it, and I thought I was gonna die! The taste was horrid! I gave it back and have never put one in my mouth since.
Really well done on all of these.
Be glad you didn't start with that nonsense! I was stupid enough to start smoking at 16, thinking it was somehow "cool." Well, becoming increasingly short of breath and coughing up brown phlegm every morning was anything but cool! Luckily, I met my wife at 38, who is a strict non-smoker. For her sake (and for me too, because the side effects were starting to get on my nerves!), about a year and a half after we met and were married, I made one of those New Year's resolutions on New Year's Eve '97...and lo and behold! It's held true to this day.
