[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's an adult and she should live somewhere where she can smoke. Your idea of finding a house where she can smoke is a good one. You might also need to hire an aide to be there with her most or all of the time. When my mom was 90 and dying of cancer we had the aide, or whichever one of us who was caring for her, dole out the cigarettes and watch while she smoked them sitting on the side of her bed. There are solutions that don't involve treating her like she has no autonomy.[/quote] Your idea requires paying an adult to sit and watch her smoke. So, while it may appeal to your heart, it is not very realistic. Oh, his mom would never want a cigarette when that person is not on paid duty. Talk is cheap.[/quote] What? This happens all the time in caregiving. Paid caregivers watch their senior clients smoke all of the time.[/quote]
