Sigmund Freud's Death

Freud is frequently photographed smoking, which he began at age 24.  He smoked just cigarettes at first, and was later introduced to cigars, which he began to smoke exclusively.  He believed that they helped him to focus and enhanced his ability to work.  He continued to smoke despite warnings from colleagues.  Freud's excessive smoking eventually led to his death in the form of cancer in the mouth.  Sigmund Freud died on September 23, 1939 at the age of 83.
