I have to say I admire your extreme confidence in smoking. When I was a smoker I was so much more insecure. I eventually quit more out of fear that I was becoming neurotic. Every time I coughed it was lung cancer and a tickle in my throat was laryngeal cancer. Everytime I heard of someone else with lung cancer I would have trouble sleeping convinced that I would be next. I should caution you though that people do not just go nursing homes when they reach a certain age. There are not many healthy people in nursing homes. Oh by the way Fleetwood Mac have just released a new hit single last summer(not sure if it is on an album)

Do you nonsmoking folks ever go into nursing homes?

My father bought the farm in a "retirement community". When he was dying I did what I could. Since it was less trouble for my friends I stayed in his apartment. Asked first if it'd be okay to smoke. HAHAHAHA! Said the director. Who are WE to stop 'em??? Once they're over 80 they go on forever...
