I have many reasons for hating smoking;
1. My 45 year old nephew has throat ca. His medical bills have reached 400,000 and he will have to file bankruptcy.
2. My other nephew who is 38 had to have a cancerous kidney removed
b/c of smoking.
3. My sister-in-law was a heavy
smoker when she was pregnant. Two were
born with respiratory distress. The third was born with a whole in
his heart. He lived 6 days. The cigarette pkg clearly states that cigs cause fetal damage.
4. I had a pt on disability b/c he destroyed his heart by smoking. He's
had 2 strokes. We arranged for him to have great rehab and all he does is criticize that help we give him. Yet he keeps
puffing away.
The warnings are in writing everywhere and yet people don't herd
the warnings and keep on. I really don't think I'm the ignorant one.
I treat my smoking pts just as I treat all the others. The drain on society and a damn waste. Same with morbid obesity and alcohol. There's help out there- get it.
