Jim,

Hey, if you listen to the medicos these days, all of those diseases you mention plus warts and mononucleosis and boken bones have their roots in smoking and second-hand
smoke . . . somehow. They've gotten really ridiculous about it.

You read my mind. I was about to ask if anyone knew of a really nice way to die. A stroke in one's sleep is probably the best way to go. I hear drowning's not too bad either but don't have any first-hand reports to offer.

Now I'm gonna go dig up a URL that refutes the current party line that we smokers cost society big bucks with our health and other problems.

Holly

Massive stroke or a heart attack that takes you out all at once isn't so bad. I've buried a lot of relatives, and the long lingering deaths are the ones I don't want- especially since American doctors don't know how to prescribe pain medication properly to terminal cases.
