I know that they should not have smoked. All the danger warnings are there. but to die with a disease in the lungs from smoking is a horrible way to die. I knew a man who died from emphyzema. his last years were conected to an oxygen machine. he was a heavy smoker but a good man. He started smoking in 30 and 40s when the warnings were not there. and continued to smoke until he was too sick. He died in the early 80s. when someone asked him what it was like to be in his condition he said" you know what it feels like when you choke on something? that is what I feel like all of the time." that was enough for me to know NOT to smoke.
