I'm an on/off smoker and it was gallows humour, as I'm sure you were aware. Sorry to hear about your dad, but something's got to end every single one of us. I appreciate that doesn't make it easier for you.not really - my Dad died from lung cancer by smoking ‘good old fashioned fags’
However, to return to my earlier post on this thread, I personally find the mental health of this teen far more worrying than her physical health. There's an absolute epidemic of mental health issues in that generation, made worse by being locked inside for nearly two years with no school, no peer group and nothing much to do but watch other idiots giving it large on youtube. Ironically, the mental health of that generation has been at least partly sacrificed for the physical safety of people who spent all their lives smoking good, old fashioned fags.
