Second hand smoke kills...
New commercial with this old lady taking about what she did so she and her daughter could survive all these years.

Not to sound insensitive, but the last I checked, we all die of something. And at least she got to her age. Too many don't. :(

1. First off
:popcorn:




Secondly, the one that got me was the one when they say that woman died of mouth cancer from second hand smoke and never smoked a day in her life. I would really like to see the records on that woman and the proof that what they say really happened.

2. !
Second hand smoke causes mouth cancer. More like diarrhea of the mouth.

Of course, these particular commercials don't seem to be sponsored by that truth organization...

3. Ever see anyone die of cancer?
Lung or mouth? I have. It's not a nice way to go Toad.

Yeah, we all die, some more tragically than other. But I think that lady would have prefered to die in her sleep, in her own home than in a hospital, in pain and hopped up on meds.

What's sad is that death from smoking related diseases are 100% preventable and they don't only affect the smoker, it affects their spouse, their children and their co-workers.
