Smoking. ****ing smoking. I am currently watching my mother slowly starve to death as she has esophageal cancer, brought on by decades of smoking, and cant swallow. It is a slow painful death. She can barely breathe and chokes on even liquid or her own saliva. I have pretty much had to move in with her and the rest of my family are taking it in turns to come to help out as well.I'm having to help her to the commode that has been put in along with the bed in the living room as she can't use the stairs as she has no energy and is down to five and a half stones. Its so undignified for her to be helped out to the loo and to be dressed by her adult son. You know what the only thing she wants to do is? ****ing smoke!! Even when struggling for breath she can manage a fag!! I am not looking for any sympathy at all but seriously anyone who is still a smoker, I'd love you to see the state of my mother and it would hopefully put you off and make you give up.
Netflix, Amazon and Sky movies. To understand what's being said you need to turn the volume up but when an action scene comes it's so loud that I nearly **** myself.
Sorry to hear that WH, my own mother withered away from cancer after 50+ years of smoking. She'd had to stop when she was taken into a care home but I'm sure she'd have continued if she could have done.Quote:

My mother smoked for a couple of years in her early 20s, but gave it up when she got pregnant. She survived a lung cancer scare in her mid 40s, then eventually succumbed to it in her late 60s, leaving behind five children, and loads of grandchildren.
Despite being a non-smoker for most of her life, she had to spent large amounts of her time in the company of smokers...at home, visiting relatives, in shops, at one of her many part-time jobs. There's no way of knowing for certain but it's entirely possible that she suffered because of passive smoking.
Personally, I'd ban the bl**dy things, but I can't see that ever happening.
When the pro-smoking lobby started wailing that it'd ruin pubs it was taken seriously, but pubs and restaurants are much, much nicer places to be without coming out reeking of smoke. I even remember when people could smoke on the back of buses.Quote:

Agree, and I used to smoke.Quote:

I feel quite ashamed because although my generation knew smoking was bad for you, unlike people who started in the 50's/60's, there still wasn't the education at school about just how bad it was that thankfully kids get now.
Ironically, fires have become more common on airplanes and the air quality has also deteriorated since smoking was banned.Quote:

They don't change the air as regularly, as it costs money to bring fresh subzero air in from outside and heat it to cabin temperature. By the time you reach your destination the percentage of carbon dioxide in the cabin from breathing is much higher than it should be."

Im in a Science and Space group on Facebook and commented on a post that sa8d the moon was fixed in orbit and didnt spin on axis.
I replied that it does actually spin on its axis as well as rotating around the Earth.

I just dont understand how folk can respind like that when its obvious they dont have a clue.
Wow...is that some sort of special extension of the flat earth society?Quote:

A four year degree to write pish like that, **** right off.
Supermarket bacon. Cut so thin you can see through it.
The snide remarks posters make as a generalisation. E.g. “that can’t be right because I read on here that...” etc
Some folk can fair hold on to petty grievances.

I'm not pretending to have superior knowledge. It's not even something I'd thought about until it was brought up on here and I can understand why some people think it doesn't rotate.Quote:
