Hey there "too tough for tumors!" Let me tell you a little story: When I was a kid, I had a friend of mine who started smoking when she was 8. Her older sister was 16 at the time, and thought it would be "cool" to watch her younger sister smoke- so she offered her a few cigarettes every now and then- until she was hooked! 8 years later, when my friend was 16, she was diagnosed with CANCER OF THE LUNGS and had to have one lung removed (the doctor informed her that it was due to her smoking). Well- she quit pretty fast after that, and confronted her older sister about it, and how she had been "duped" by her older sister into thinking that smoking was cool (hey- what little girl WOULDN'T want to be like her older sister- looking so cool and having it "all together"). In response, her sister just said "don't try to pin your illness on me! You could have just said no when I offered you one!"- GIVE ME A FREAKIN' BREAK! That, in my opinion is the lamest excuse for a sister! You have NO IDEA what irreperable damage you are doing to her! You want to die- FINE, I'll even send you a box of cigars- they can burry your ashes in it after you've croaked! But don't drag someone else down to death with you. If you love her- you'll want her to live a long and healthy life! You are so selfish- you WANT her to smoke just because YOU like to watch her- it turns you on, and I'm sure you enjoy having a "partner" to smoke with. Just remember this- when you watch her light up, you're watching her put a knife to her body- and YOU caused it. Oh, by the way, my friend? She's DEAD now. They found one year later that the cancer had returned and spread to her other lung!
