[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he quite smoking a long time ago then it's obviously not the proximate cause of his death.  If he was still smoking and had never quit then that is more relevant and could very likely have contributed to his early death.

No matter what, it's sad that he lost his life so young.  He should have had many more years with us.

This is not accurate. You can quit smoking for a decade and still die from the effects.

We have to stop putting the blame on individuals though. We allow companies to develop products and foods that are unhealthy utterly for us. No one is immune from this part of the equation. [/quote]

Individuals have the right to drink, smoke and live their lives as dangerously as they want. "Heathy people" who live long lives cost a frickin fortune the last ten years of life with assisted living and constant medical care. Not to mention dimentia or Alzheimer's. People who drink and smoke die quickly and save the health system boatloads of money. Inevitably on top of the exorbident health costs "healthy people" end up with a stroke, cancer or heart attack at 90 just like Luke Perry. And besides the 10 years of intensive heathcare and the ultimate cancer/stroke/heart attack .. "Healthy people" usually have regular checkups and expensive medical diagnosis procedures even when younger for decades. Healthy people drain the health dollars like pigs.[/quote]
