Should have used a piece of black rubber fuel line.For the last 7 years of his life my dad was virtually completely paralysed. He lived in a care home for such folk.
One old biddy who was equally immobile smoked like a beagle. Problem was, she couldn’t be allowed fags unsupervised. I *think* it was to do with her dropping them and setting self on fire. It happens. Anyhow…..
They’d rigged up this god awful contraption with an ash tray on the arm of her chair and a piece of clear tube which went up to a bracket at about mouth height. Staff used to light a cigarette in the ashtray and she would puff away merrily then start squawking once it had run out. They’d change it, rinse and repeat.
That tube was absolutely minging. One of the girls reckoned they put a new one on every couple of days. I’ve never smoked, but if I were to consider it that tube was enough to put you right off!!!!
What you can't see.....
