She has cancer from smoking. it is a little hard to be compassionate to someone who keeps on smoking even after finding out she has cancer from smoking and that smoking with oxygen is dangerous, still smokes while on oxygen.

compassion and kindness no longer exist. Does it??? I dont even know those of you that left cruel comments about this poor lady but I am ashamed of you.

You've never done anything stupid in your life? She's on oxygen because she is dying from cancer so if she want's to keep smoking she can.

Years ago when my dad was in the va hospital, I used to take him out onthe front steps to smoke. there were guys out there with hoses in their throats that would pull out the hose, sitck a cigarette in the hole and puff, then put the hose back, all the time telling every one who would or wouldnt listen "my father smoked eveery day of his life and lived to 100" I'll bet none of them did. I dont anymore.

That is what she gets! What a moron. Someone who is that stupid is just a waste of space in general.

Ok, How idiotic do you have too be too smoke around an Oxygen tank. Lets use some common sense. If you are on an oxygen tank. DO NOT SMOKE.

because they are addicts who have probably smoked 40 years. Have some compassion. This is more common than you think.
