Continue smoking or give it up?

Asked by mrjadkins (1256points) January 7th, 2009

On 20/20, Barbara Walters interviewed Patrick Swayze who is being treated for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He admits that he still smokes and has smoked for over 30 years now.

Giving up smoking would definitely be of greater health benefit to him and anyone else who smokes should take notice as well. But with all the stress on him now, what do you think about him continuing to smoke through that rigorous chemo treatment?

Should a person continue to light up when they don’t have much time left with such a horrible disease? Should this one (enjoyable) habit still be allowed for him to enjoy?
