When my mother-in-law was on her death bed, with tears in her eyes, she told my wife and I that she killed herself because she refused to stop smoking, even though she knew the potential consequences. It was heart breaking since neither of us were smokers.

This happened just a couple of hours before she passed. Before then, everyone present did their best to comfort her with kindness and family stories. At no time did she have any timely advice, including don't smoke. I will say though, she was using the morphine candy on a stick provided by the hospice nurse.
