Yup,
It'd your life, you do whatever you want with it.
I once looked at dead smokers lung during autopsy.
It looked like soot covered chimney inside. Npo one
in my family has that filthy luxury(as you put it).- Hide quoted text

Which is why Americans have to pay for their own health care?
Same with obesity?
BTW: Is that heater is wired through the dimmer? At very least it
sounds as though there may be voltage drop problem?
Four x 75 = 300 watts (maybe 400 watts)
Heater = 1500 watts
Fan? = say 25 watts?
TOTAL = around 2000 watts.
If that wiring happens to be 14AWG (Common for lighting wiring!) and
the dimmer is rated for say 600 watts it sounds like overloading; but
insufficient info provided to really know.
Oh also btw. There will always be the 'two pack a day smokers'; some
of whom will live to 90+.
But last year our neighbour once a heavy smoker died of lung cancer.
He was an excellent wood worker; some 15 years younger than I.
Strangely before retirement he had been a an X. Ray technical
instructor. In fact it may have been that that persuaded him to give
up smoking.
Unfortunately it caught up with him at age around 60! What a waste!
Nice man.

I'm doomed to croak of cancer. Virtually everyone on both sides for
generations has. Some smoked, some quit and some never did.

Nobody gets out alive.
