Condemn? Rather strong word.
It would not be a smart decision and could compound their health problems and leading to a lower quality of life. No doctor would suggest that it would be a smart decision for an elderly person to begin smoking, and would be more against it if that person were already experiencing bad health.
The problem, OFE, is you keep soap boxing right to choose or the personal satisfaction one gets out of it, but I have never questioned a right to choose or that people who smoke do not get satisfaction; what I have and do argue is that choosing to smoke is not a smart decision.
