Well, no, that is not too much to ask. As an R.N., licensed but inactive now, I have just seen so many people die of emphysema and lung cancer. But, hey, I don't want to tell you what to do. It was just a suggestion. I wouldn't want to give up my pets, SUV, opinions, life, etc. either. ;)

People die. (that's a PERIOD)

My aunt died of lung cancer at 44 years old. She to was a nurse, did not smoke, nor did her husband or her parents before him. If she was not in her smoke free home she was at the smoke free hospital or at her smoke free church. DEAD AT 44 YEARS OLD without smoking or being around smoking. Go figure. I don't know how she managed it.

Son of a gun, I used to be married to a nurse!

After being married for two weeks I cacked from an aortic dissection, only to be revived by one excellent heart surgeon.

I was to find that my 47 year old heart was as healthy as an 18 year old's and they couldn't understand as to why I has the issues I had. Well, I am healthy as can be again, am less my wife (who claimed to be able to put one to death without a trace as to why they died) and my Malamute which was put to sleep by her while I was in surgery.

Gosh, I love to interact with nurses.... ; )

Also, my cousin DEAD at 53 years old. Died 3 1/2 years ago. Death bed words to her 24 year old daughter; "I never smoked, I never drank, I never did drugs, I never whored around, there was only ever your father. Here I lay dying at 53 years old. I probably should have lived a little more dangerously.

I have done a decent amount of research on the non-smoking issue. There is more manipulation of facts involved than I care to get into with you. Do a little research - it is all about money - NOT HEALTH.
