Shooting would be a kinder death for smokers

(UNEDITED)This is in response to Mr. Hill's letter Sept. 5. I assume from your remarks Mr. Hill that you are a smoker. So was my brother. He passed away Nov. of last year. I was the one that took him to the Dr. He told him he had never seen lungs as bad as his in any one still alive.

He gave him 18 months to live. He lived 6. This was after 3-4 years on oxygen and hundreds of Dr. appointments. I was at the hospital when a Dr. described what he had done to his lungs and the crap that was in them.
