This Is Graphic

I was searching YouTube. Looking for entertainment and I happened upon this.

WARNING: This is not a happy-go-lucky clip. It seriously made me cry. I've had my aunt die from Lung Cancer due to smoking and it's sad to realize what it does to people, smoking, i mean. Please watch it if you can bare it (ESPECIALLY SMOKERS) because I'd love for you all to be educated by it and see the REAL truth.

How awful.

That was sad. Made me think of my grandpa. He was a smoker who died of lung cancer also. He was diagnosed in an April and gone by August.

Heartbreaking. If that doesn't compel someone to at least CONSIDER quitting, then nothing probably will.

I work in a smoking office. Isn't that weird?

We have an employee-only intranet there with a couple of different message boards we can use for miscellaneous things.

Someone posted a fact-sheet of some kind about second-hand smoke, and the responses were VICIOUS. One of the responses went on about "Smoker's Rights" and how the posting of that fact thing was an offense to them.

What do the powers-that-be do? They simply REMOVED the entire message board. ~shrugs~ I don't get it.

What are a smoker's "rights" anyway? I'm not familiar with this term.

That's so tragic. I couldn't even watch the whole thing It got to be too sad for me to handle.

My grandpa had a lot of health problems, a lot of them were from smoking. I remember when he had surgery when I was like 11 or something, and he wasn't doing well, and I went into see him, he had us promise him we would never smoke. He lived quite a few years after that, but I still always remember that, and I have NEVER even tried smoking.
