¿Question #3254?

The Monstrous Jake: I told him he should have quit smoking years ago.
Felimid: Closet chain-smoker.
Woelf: There's some backstory about his organic lungs getting injured, but I don't recall the details. ADDED: Van covered it with his answer.
aktaeon: because he had black-lung
Hendal: did not know he was, sorry to hear that
DasViktor: No, being able to love someone else is wonderful. If you can't love someone else but everyone adores you, then you are in the position Elvis was in. And it didn't turn out too good for him.
vandemonium: OK, this goes back to the first Clone Wars animated episodes which aired on Comedy Central IIRC, Mace Windu force punched Grievous (you have it spelled wrong) as he was escaping in one episode.

puffinge: He was formerly a miner, and now has black lung disease.
