1. If they too are a smoker, they'd probably thank you, but for the dying. |

That may be the best sentence I've ever written.

5. I really never do this, and I hope I'm wrong. |

You might want to make it "were a smoker" to match the verb tenses.

6. Naw, it's colloquial speech. Referring to one person as a "they" lets you break other rules too. |

10. Which pronoun would you have used? |

3. The smoke goes in their lungs. |
|
They go in the dirt. The smoke leaches into Gaia's flesh....
Unless they're cremated. Then the smoke is released and we all have to breathe 1st hand corpse-smoke AND 2nd hand cigarette smoke.
Oh, wait.... Will burning the tobacco smoke *purify* it?
