    He was 72. I don't find that to be an unreasonably early death.

    That being said, I did invest in a super cute little e-cig vaporizing unit that I love. 2014 is the year I am cutting cigarettes out of my life. I'm not a heavy smoker (about2-3 packs/week) but that'll still save me over $1000/yr.

      I just got an E cig, I'm not too crazy about it, but it comes in handy when I'm out. What brand do you have?

    72 is pretty young. Drawing social security for 10 years? Did he work all his life? Painful death too. He knew the risk. Sad for those who had to watch.

    Those Marlboro men were gorgeous.

    With parents at 70 and a grandmother who just died at 94, I certainly do think 72 is pretty young.

    17 days without a cigarette after a 34 year old habit and addiction. I finally bundled up the courage to butt out. Exercise and carrot sticks, by the time summer roles around I'm going to be one hot granny sitting by the pool.

    72 sounds great to me. As I always say, if the 10 years smoking takes off my life is 80 to 90, I'll keep lighting up.

    I'm a totes live and let live gal, and I love to smoke (but haven't for a long time), so I totally get smoking. And I don't want to live forever, either. But having watched several family members die from smoking-related illnesses, I will tell y'all that it ain't the death, it's the dying that's the real issue. My father-in-law was on oxygen for 18 years, and laid in a hospital bed for the last ten months of his life, unable to walk or even eat much of that time. Being a smoker means you're rolling the dice with your quality of life. If you're lucky, you'll just drop dead at 72 or whatever. Or you could be in for years of slow torture.
