I extend a standing invitation to all of our smoking posters to come visit me while I'm on my pulmonary rotation. That invitation also applies when I'm on my cardiology rotation, my heme/onc rotation...

Yes, it would be a good plan. If I was still doing the research I used to be doing on human pulmonary arteries I would invite them to take a good luck at a diseased, blackened lobe of lung. Not a pretty sight.

I have to say I have been to a hospital where people were mainly treated for cancer to the lungs. It didn't make me give up smoking

And I have also seen the blackened lungs on TV.

Nope, nothing still.

I successfully gave up smoking for several years - did it cold turkey too (which was hell).

That was after I was dating a palliative care nurse who worked in a hospice for people dying of various complaints, mainly cancer. Being a nurse she wasn't squeamish about giving me vivid descriptions of people dying of smoking related cancer of the mouth, tongue, throat and lungs. Some of it was too gruesome to repeat to your tender ears, like imagine having half your face amputated or your mouth removed entirely and being fed through the gaping wound.

She said lung cancer or emphysema was one of the worst deaths imaginable because you basically slowly suffocate or drown, you die gasping for breath like your slowly being choked. This can go on for weeks or months. You can't draw breath.

But I think that can happen to you even if you don't smoke, simply because of old age. The arteries become more and more blocked and the end result is the same. Namely not enough oxygen.

I'm not 100% sure about this.

I don't smoke; never have, never will.

My Father, on the other hand, smokes all the time.

Venison, fish, poultry, even the occasional tomato.

Mmmmmmm...smoky tomato soup...

Why is it that lately I've only been agreeing with communists? I applaud you, Provost Harrison.

Tobacco use is only detrimental... and for what? A little bit of relaxment now and then but complete destruction of your esophagus and lungs?


thanks

60's?!? I think mine is from BC right now. Unfortunately, the state's ample crop is going up in smoke in the huge Biscuit fire.

I personally despise smoking.

But since I grew up in a household where my mother would smoke on occasion, I don't get quite as riled up when a woman lights up. Unless it's in an enclosed space and I cannot escape.

Furthermore, if a female is hellbent on poisoning herself, she should at least do so with style: Capri 120s Superslims. That's what my mom poisons herself with now and then.

Lesse...

Smoked Malboro Menthol before I tried smoking "Cloves" (brown cig's that taste very good for those who don't know).

Stopped smoking 'em when I had a mean a** coughing fit and hacked up some blood w/my spit.

Now I don't smoke anything (that includes marijuana for you potheads!) but drink like a fish! mmmmm-beer........
