So.... what if you smoke while in hospice? Is that like a speed run?
Papers I've read say that lots of smoking damage can be recovered (slowly, over years/decades); Does this apply to this study? One cigarette in high school has the same impact of the 15,103 cigarette of a career smoker?
Paraphrasing Vonnegut: smoking is the only gentlemanly way to commit suicide left.
