I have watched many people die in the line of my work, some smokers some not, equally painful and slow, death and indeed watching a person die is not very pleasant regardless of whether they were smokers or not. My sister in law died of lung cancer aged 40 and had never smoked in her entire life, I would never encourage anybody to start smoking but think there are worse things I could be doing in life. I ensure nobody breathes my second hand smoke by smoking out doors and never in the company of non smokers.

I agree LynFrown watching the residents pass away is horrible...for many different reasons but I know they were around people who care, families and staff!!

everything is harmful nowadays, nothing is safe..We should enjoy life and take it how it comes.. we never know what is round the corner. Listening to the residents stories and past times, makes me think if we listen to everything that is harmful to us, no one would ever leave their houses and have exciting stories to shareFrown

Have to agree with you Emma and Lyn. 'What Would We Do Without....' is this thread title, so what would we do without..... pubs and clubs staying open 24/7 maybe???Undecided We'd probably not have so many young kids sinking to the debths of alcholoism thats what. Makes me so angry when people go on about smoking when all that is happening around us!Yell People will say about passive smoking but what about all those idiots drink driving? I don't drink alcohol,  and can't stand wine, tastes like vinegar to me lol and I never smoke around anyone else who is a non smoker.

The governments of this world will never really be serious about stopping cigarettes when they make so much in taxes out of them.

And all the other sorts of pollution are killing us anyway !Frown

 

But what would we do without governments ?

Don't answer that.... lol Sealed

So many things I would struggle without, apart from the obviouse, my computer, camera and mobile phone I would be lost without my washing machine, vacume cleaner and every other modern day appliance that makes life so much easier. I could live without my TV though.
