I know a lot of people will say that she’s getting what she deserves, but I’m not. That’s just awful. My uncle died of that when he was 78, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, especially in their 20′s. Hopefully she can recover from her addictions and mend her health.

Well, congratulations, it’s permanent. She can try to medicate and use a nebulizer, but it can only go down hill from here.
How in the hell do you get emphysema at her age? I mean, it’s obviously the drugs, but to have done so much damage you get it in your 20′s? Wow.

I’m with you, Wif. Hope it’s the wake-up call to end all wake-up calls for Amy. Tightly crossing my fingers here and wishing her well.

My grandmother died of heart failure after emphysema and it makes you so sad to see a young person have it. Quit smoking, Amy!

She needs help ASAP. Why is society determined to glorify such negative habits?

She seems like Britain’s version of Britney Spears. She needs a serious intervention, and someone to take over her health/financial decisions!

My grandfather died of emphyesma earlier this year. It is a very hard way to go – especially for my family members who served as his immediate care givers. I hope Amy decides that she is worthy of fighting for her own life, and breaks ties with the destructive parts.

Wow. This makes me truly sad. To have so much talent and to be going downhill physically so fast.
Care about yourself, Amy. It took my grandfather 50 solid years of smoking to develop emphysema and the day he was told he was in the beginning stages, he quit cold turkey. After 50 years. Lived another ten years and died of stomach cancer, NOT emphysema. He was a big strong brave man and just hearing that WORD was enough to scare him silly.
Please Amy. Help yourself.

That’s what happens when you smoke though isn’t it? You know going in that smoking is bad for you and kills! I just don’t have any sympathy for her or other smokers.

Well, Kristin, can I therefore assume that you have not ever had an alcoholic beverage, overeaten at a single meal, driven over the speed limit, taken a puff or marijuana, nor had sex without a condom (with anyone ever– a spouse could be lying to you, after all)? After all, surely you are aware that any of these activities could kill you if repeated over time, so you would deserve anything bad that happened, right?
When you engage in no risky health behaviors– none, no eating fish (mercury), no spending time in a home that had not undergone radon testing (lung cancer)– then you can cast stones at others for their choices. It’s easy to look down on smokers but if you extend the logic of your argument then it begins to look pretty irrational and self-congratulatory.

Mary Ann – I hate the self-righteous bullshit as much as the next guy, but come on. I’m a half pack a day smoker, and have been for a decade. Still, there’s a big fucking difference between smoking a cigarette and inhaling even HALF the shit that woman has.
These aren’t ‘risk behaviors’, they’re ‘gonna kill your ass in a matter of years’ behaviors. Which is a lesson I bet she understands now.

I’m with you Kristin. Smokers bring it on themselves.
Mary Ann- while I agree with your logic- Smoking in more dangerous then all the things you’ve named- in the USA car Crashes kill 42,000 people a year (2001, rounded up) smoking kills 120,000 people a year…Pot is the one exception, being that it IS SMOKING.

My grandfather passed this Dec, 07, of emphysema. He quit smoking when they told him ten years ago and was on oxygen daily. While smoking is definately a health risk, I feel for the older generations who were bombarded with pro smoking campaigns in the early 40′s 50′s and 60′s. People have to make the choice for themselves these days. I think it is so unusual that most of the comments on here are fully ready to jump up the ass of people who smoke cigs and hardly anyone attributes her current state to 24 hour a day free base cocaine smoking. Odd.

Well Mary Ann, I am a virgin, (and lesbian) so no condoms, I always get full so I never even finish a whole meal, I haven’t gotten my license yet, I’m not old enough to drink, and I have never smoked anything. So good job, you have me all figured out.

We should care WHY? People who smoke ANYTHING, legal or otherwise. really DO bring all this upon themselves. The worst part is that they poison the rest of us in the process. If people want to destroy their health with that poison, that’s their business. But they have no right to poison us as well.

I am sorry to hear about her having lung problems at such an early age – but how was she diagnosed – did she have a CT Scan of her lungs??? How did they come with the conclusion she is going to die if she doesn’t quit?
I think she will be ok….what what the heck do I know?
Patty.
