and I found it very interesting since I had a brother in law (my sister's husband), whom we loved in our family; the advices we gave him to stop smoking because of its dire consequences were in vain. He would laugh and say that everybody has to die from something in his life. I remember well, he once sent one of his daughters, about 8 years, to buy cigarettes for him at the corner store and the girl said she did not want to go because at that moment there was a fight and she was fearful; he, then, scolded her and told her he did not mind that something would happen, that what mattered was to buy him cigarettes. Over time and as it should be expected, he started with an abnormal cough; it was then that the family was alarmed and convinced him to go see the doctor ( he did not want to go before) and after carrying out the tests, he was given the terrible news that he had cancer of the right lung. He quit smoking inmediately but it was too late. He underwent an operation and they cut half the lung, the doctor told him he had the lung as when one uses a kitchen stove every day for years without never cleaning it, such was the magnitude of his cancer. Then he was treated with chemotherapy and he got better a lot, gained some weight and seemed cured but this terrible disease spread to his bones by metastasis and then it became true that nothing could be done; he got worse, and fell bed-ridden in the midst of terrible pain and suffering and finally died leaving a wife, 4 children and a devastated family.This was the terrible fate of someone who refused to accept the destructive consequences that cigarette smoking may cause.
