And my dad - who has COPD and congestive heart failure, and because of low oxygen to the brain, has symptoms of alzheimers.
And my mother who died of liver cancer in 2001 which was a secondary cancer. And smoked (and drank) all her life.

Just curious, Kathleen, how many of those people are still alive, and how many died an early death - ie, before, say 90... And how many have had health issues that can be traced to smoking.
