And one would think with all the information about how bad smoking is people would stop or not even start. Kind of like all the information about what a POS, extreme narcisist and just about horrible and unqualified person tRump is people would not follow him, but they do.
Everybody,please do watch for these symptoms,,they weren't spotted in time to help save my girlfriend six years ago;she succumbed to cancer in 2018 after a very short time following the diagnosis.
I lost a dear friend in 2012 to that awful disease. His doctor told him at first that it was pneumonia. By the time he found what it was, it was too late. I lost another close friend about 8 years before that. He only smoked a few cigarettes in high school, but was exposed to air pollution, as he lived in NYC. I think I only knew one person who outlived the disease to die of something else. All ex-smokers should be monitored.
