was such a heavy smoker. In the end she got COPD, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Not that there aren't other vices - alcohol, even too much sugar, etc. can be nearly as bad for your health. And I agree on the lies, marketing, trade groups. My mother had this idea that if smoking was so unsafe the government wouldn't allow it. I think by the time she aged and got more ill she understood the deception.
