I'm thinking of a close family member just dying of cancer due to chainsmoking their whole life. I've picked up the habit of smoking more just feel close to them.
Do you think chain-smoking is a good choice to make?
It was their own choice and it has nothing to do with me.
When you smoke, these chemicals can damage your lungs but also pass into your blood and spread through your body. Learn from the death of your close family member and refrain from smoking so that you don't get cancer.
Yeah I can probably die while smoking.
I hope you truly realize the harm you are putting yourself into by honoring your family like this. Do you think they would be happy about you endangering your health like this? So, why not try to quit and honor them in ways that positively stood out about them?
