Love to your mo-in-law, smoking was very sexy in the bogart movies day. who wouldn't want to do it? nobody knew that the snake had such a bite and denial of truth comes with the addiction.
I lost both my parents to tobacco. yet I started smoking again 6 months ago, we are in vessels of weak flesh.
I'm sorry that you are in this situation of loss that you are helpless to fix.
Maybe there IS nothing you can do. My mother refused to use oxygen and died from lack of it. It hurts...it really hurts.
