Being around AA for years, I have seen respiratory problems as the result of
smoking impair as many people as alcohol and drugs. I have gain lots of
weight as a result of quitting smoking and a large gut seems to impair
respiration even more. I am glad I stopped before my emphysema progressed.
Emphysema is worst than lung cancer in my view.
