Fast forward four operations later for four aneurysms, one in leg, one in abdomen two on aorta. The last one left him looking like he had a stroke. He walks with a cane now and at least he can speak again clearly once his vocal cords started working again.
He found out he has another one and it will be dangerous to repair.
His brother had a lung removed and still smoked while needing oxygen. He found out that he will die in less than two years.

This is last year's birthday party at a resturant for my wife's uncle. He went outside to light up right after the pic. My wife also has quit several times through the years and I don't think she smokes. That family has it bad. My wife is 44 and we have been together since she was 17. I used to get mad at her for smoking.
