Just what our vets need, the nanny state telling them they can’t smoke.

Wonder if you can still score the little packs of smokes from c-rats ? The only way most got their smokes in the bush in the 60’s. Govt sponsored smoking then, criminalized now if you smoke less than 50ft from the doorway the security guards will be on you like you’re a felon.

When my dad was dying (we didn’t know it at the time) he began hallucinating and my mom called me to take him to the VA hospital. I got him there and they put him on oxygen for about 2 hours until the doctor came in. He looked down at my dad and asked if he smoked. My dad said yes and the doctor asked him how many packs a day. My said 4-5 packs a day. the doctor asked him if he ever thought of quitting. My dad said “did you ever think about not supplying me with free cigarettes for 30 years of my life!”

The doctor never said another word.
