Smoking In Bed
During the last seven years emphysema killed four people I knew well; one of them related. Three were males and one female. Their ages ranged from 53 to 64. All of them smoked.The female smoked for fifteen years, one of the males for thirty years while the other two smoked since childhood; all of them about 20 per day.
Not all people who smoke get emphysema and not everyone who get emphysema smokes, but the occurance of emphysema is much higher amongst smokers.
Then why do some people smoke since childhood and never get emphysema, while others smoke for fifteen or twenty years and get it.
The persons I mentioned all had the same habit. They frequently smoked while in bed; flat on their backs. Even when waking up in the night. Could this be significant?
Have a great day!
