Today, my mother called me and told me that she went to the hospital. This wasn't a surprise 'cos she normally goes to the hospital for the smallest things. I was a smartass and asked, "What now? You finally have lung cancer from all those cigarettes?" Apparently, she does. FML

Thanks mom
Today, I learned that I may have lung cancer. I've never smoked a day in my life but it could be from secondhand smoke exposure from all the years of my mom smoking around me. FML

Today, in front of a hospital, I noticed that an old lady was having trouble lighting her cigarette because she had Parkison's. So I went to help her to light it up and she then started chatting with me and told me she had lung cancer. FML

Today, my future mother-in-law told me she thought I was severely allergic to cigarette smoke. That hasn't stopped her from chain-smoking around me for the last 3 years. FML

Smoking kills
Today, my grandmother - who has been a heavy smoker for almost forty years, and does not believe in the dangers of smoking - was diagnosed with COPD. Also, I'm now at a greater risk of developing COPD because of her (and my parents, who also smoke). FML

Today, it's the third day since my mum quit smoking, and I realised that her health-drive is having a negative effect on my own health when she bitch slapped me down the stairs because she didn't get a joke I told her. FML

Today, my doctor told me that my lungs are as bad as a 60-year-old heavy smoker's. I'm 19 and I've never touched a cigarette in my life. FML

I've been breathing second hand smoke for sixteen years not by choice and I am prone to cancer. With that being said, I also think I'm ******.

damn... get ur mum into rehab. its the only way, as harsh as it is
FiestaInMyPants 8
I don't think this really requires rehab :P
knocking 0
I've never heard of a rehab accepting people addicted to smoking cigarettes. Smoking crack? Yes. Smoking cigarettes? No. The other addicts would probably kick their ass. I know cigarettes are very hard to quit, but you aren't going to die from quitting, like with alcohol and benzos. Or go through the horrible withdrawal of an opiate addict. Not to mention at many rehabs, the patients are basically all smoking like crazy as they are getting off the other drugs. So basically, sending a person to rehab for tobacco is not a good idea and probably not even possible in many places.

op didn't say cigarettes it could be meth you don't know.
BelleBelle_fml 11
I think it's safe to assume the OP was referring to cigarettes, due to the reference to lung cancer. It's been proven that smoking ciggs is the leading cause of lung cancer and that smoking other things such as; marijuana, cocaine, or methamphetamines; does not cause nearly as much lung damage. But I could be wrong, because OP didn't clearly state what it is that their mom smokes. Good day.
Lisa_Simpson_fml 5
Actually, it is the chemicals in cigarettes, moreso than the smoke, that cause cancer. Smoke from marijuana cigarettes causes about as much damage as sitting by a campfire, which can cause damage if done too frequently. Don't fall prey to Big Tobacco propaganda, people!

this doesn't require rehab. it requires a bitch slap across the face.

At least OP knows it's not true. But I have to wonder.. If she says you're going to die of lung cancer because of her smoking, why doesn't she quit smoking to save your life? Your mom's an idiot AND she hates you, OP.
Beebow_fml 5
22- Because then the OP would go through nicotine withdrawal and the mother would feel guilty.

Second hand smoke can give you cancer. So she's not wrong.
ILOLatmockdaweek 0
22 you're a bit stupid. you can die from second hand smoke.
RainbowHeadache 2
I read somewhere that is just as bad if not worse than smoking a cigarette yourself. Not sure if that holds any salt or not I just know shs is incredibly bad for you.
dudeitsdanny 10
The fact that it's an FML at all could mean the mother is a complete moron. It's open to interpretation, unless OP clarifies. The way it was phrased implies the mom is an idiot.
RainbowHeadache 2
I read it as, OPs mom smokes so much she'll give her kid cancer just from SHS & doesn't give a crap. Either way, she's an idiot.
FiestaInMyPants 8
With background knowledge about secondhand smoke, this FML seems to be more about how inconsiderate the mother is. She obviously doesn't care enough about OP's lungs, let alone her own, to quit smoking or prevent death by cancer for either of them. So, yes, OP's mom could be a moron, but likely not in the way that you're implying.

It's worse; the person smoking the cig has a filter. All the rest of us get no protection.
geeksaresexy 18
I work in a betting shop and before the smoking ban came in here everyone smoked in the shop. 10+ people smoking in a confined space, not nice. At least one, non-smoking, member of staff got lung cancer and two have emphysema.. That's just the ones I know of. We had air filters but they never really worked, pubs were less smoky..
WallyTheWombat 0
Well the person smoking is inhaling through the filter then exhaling the same smoke only it will be somewhat diluted by the moisture and air in the lungs plus the air in the space it takes to travel from the smoker to the second hand smoker. So I'd assume second hand isn't as bad, but that's just a guess.

It's called projection, meaning that she may be in an internal conflict about smoking, and she wants to continue because of her nicotine addiction, so, to ease her anxiousness, she projects her probable future health problems on OP. (Just an educated guess.) AP Psychology. Also, secondhand smoke will create lung cancer, but I don't expect OP to hang around his mom every single time she smokes.
