What did C.S. Lewis die of ?

Heart failure. Complicated by pneumonia. He also suffered from osteporosis, but it was the heart failure that got him.
 
You might be getting confused with his wife, Joy Davidman, who died of bone cancer. He also experienced loss of calcium in his bones, but I've never heard of him having cancer.

Well, it's carelessness, but then at that time they didn't understand much about the adverse effects of smoking. It wasn't until the mid-1960s that they began to study and publish the results of the connection between smoking and things like lung cancer and emphesyma. Smoking was a common adult habit at the time - almost everyone smoked.
 
Riggght! Comprehension dawning.....:)
LOl, it's like in Grease: Rizzo says that "it won't kill you" about smoking to sandy, b/c it was 1950s and they had no clue..
Duh, me, duh!
