She’s a shining but VERY hard-won example why NOBODY should smoke cigarettes.

We’ve all lost st so many people who were precious to us. As long as there are cigarettes, there will be cancer. Of the lung(s) and beyond. It’s a lose-lose proposition all around. For EVERYONE - the smokers and everybody who cares about them.

I wish cigarettes never existed.
