I've heard all the arguments on smoking : helps kill pain/ more addictive than heroin/ helps calm.the nerves, AND I DO NOT CARE.
My mother died at 60, never got retirement minus her last yr alive. She died raging and crying and disbelieving she got lung cancer. This was Florida, and her drs were terrible, but she put herself in that position.

I'm 58. Since a kid, I always knew lung cancer would taker her out. I begged her to stop. But, she always chose cigarettes. She stopped post terminal diagnosis, ans said had she known it was so easy, she would have stopped sooner. Genius. Too late.

So, this is triggering for me. He does all sorts of dangerous things, I'll leave out the details. I'm going to end up with a cold morning corpse, or months-long ICU unit. We're not married. In my state, spouses are responsible for unpaid medical bills. I'm not going there, sorry, i have to look out for myself.

He tells me he's not getting good health care here. I have nothing to say to that. Just so angry and frustrated.

ETAi just had to ask her drs? What caused this? 100% smoking. FAFO
