This woman coughs every morning daily, for an hour or more, and then smokes once done with her coughing fit. Smokes 3 packs a day, then at night gets under her oxygen. She has emphezema, copd, her left lung has collapsed, and who knows if she has lung cancer, but I think so.
She takes inhalers, albuterol, vitamins a b c d e etc, blood thinners, etc. Also goes to the hospital once a month saying that she cannot breathe. Go figure. They have termed her "frequent flyer". Her own doctor has given up on her smoking bouts but still treats her for other things.
Is smoking really worth all this??
I have wondered what her lungs must be like. 60 years of smoking, ewww, I bet they are very black because nicotine is sticky like glue.
