Emphysema

When I was researching this weeks article, I was so surprised to find out that some people with emphysema were still smoking, even though it is the main cause of their disease and can lead to complications and even death.

Over the years I have seen people who have never touched a cigarette affected with illnesses caused by second hand smoke, some have even died of lung related diseases.

I fully support the new laws both in the USA and Canada that limit smoking in the presence of children, especially in cars; and the new graphic pictures on cigarettes, anything to stop our young people from smoking.
