My brother, who is being treated for lung cancer, has been doing one cigarette a day. Lighting it about 5 times for a puff or two at a time. He's smoked for 60 years so we are impressed. He's only smoked outside for many years.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Mike Lawler has been very vocal about the need to solve the "antisemitism crisis on college campuses" issue too, and among all the horrors this administration has unleashed, hiding behind a shield of "protect the students from antisemitism" so they can pull evil Nazi shit like disappearing Palestinian activists is pretty fucking beyond.

Thrive to spite them
If M's mom has an oxygen tank then there is going to be no smoking. She doesn't have any kind of self control at all and is very impulse driven. Which will make it hard but last year she caught the bathroom trash can on fire twice because she tossed the ashes from the ash tray in there and forgot she had a lot/smoldering cigarette. And recently she's been caught falling asleep with a cigarette on her hand.
I think this will be hell for everyone but I'm going to spread the misery around.

Word. Smoking and oxygen tanks are not mixy things. Askye, I think you have a right to a home that’s not in danger of blowing up.
