My dad smoked heavily for close to seventy years.

He was put on oxygen full time a year or so ago, and had to quit cold turkey.

That wasn't easy, but it was better than blowing himself up.

My mom had quit 5 years before her COPD diagnosis and a good 10 years before she was on oxygen. My next door neighbor though? He was put on oxygen last month and turns it off to smoke, which I think is nuts, but I think it's a good example of what a horrible addiction those things are.
