Time (and COPD) changes how we look at smoking In supprt of : Dwain Harris: "Higher tax means less smoking, better health" To ColumbiaMagazine.com Time changes the way we look at things. Just a couple of years ago (a very dear relative) told me that he would smoke until the day he died and no one could convince him otherwise. He understood that smoking would bring an early death for him - he would say that he had the right to die any way he choose. Soon after that he was diagnosed with COPD and now lung cancer. Today he is clinging tightly to what's left of his life. Trying to stay alive he has undergone what could only be termed as torture just to try to breath a few more breaths. I think (that relative) would argree that raising the cigarette tax would be a good thing if it protected even one person from what he is now enduring. s/Barbara Armitage This story was posted on 2009-02-06 10:39:26
