I am a bit suprised at how many people smoke and have a gasper when they have breakfast.

I never started smoking, I didn't like it when I tried it. A lot of my later life was servicing medical equipment especially respiratory/ oxygen related stuff. I saw many many people dying or spending their life connected to oxygen equipment because their lungs were affected due to their smoking. It was a very sobering sight and there were so many of them. We had about 2000 oxygen concentrators (machines that manufacture up to 97% oxygen from ambient room air using a molecular sieve, known as pressure swing adsorbtion) These machines are only issued to people who need oxygen therapy for 15 hours per day or greater so these were only the chronic ones. The population of Tasmania is only 450,000.

When you see the quality of life of these people you really wonder if they would have smoked had they know the dreadful effects it would have on their lives.
