His sons Alan, Jimmy and Stephen are said to be deeply upset.

And how the fuck do you smoke 100 a day? If I smoke 20 on a night out my throat feels like shit in the morning  :shrug:

Friends said it was possible that the years he spent curing smokers in smoke-filled sessions at his clinics might have contributed to the illness, although it might also be linked to his previous heavy smoking.


thats the best bit for me!

I liked that too.  Nothing to do with his own minor 100-a-day habit of course.

Made a tidy profit from it though and to reach his 70's after a 100-a-day habit is an achievement in its own right!

working on an average of 8 hours sleep a night, he smoked one cigarette roughly every ten minutes.

Apparently cutting down doesn't give blokes a better chance of not getting lung cancer.

I thought this dude was already dead  :|
but obviously it's sad that he quit so long ago and still got the disease.
