My dad smoked two packs of menthol a day for at least 20 years, but then he quit smoking when they said you couldn’t smoke at work anymore. Lol he had not been smoking for probably 25-30 years and still got emphysema. It can happen that way. He eventually got COPD - But he live to be 82 years old, so there’s that.
From my understanding, my mom didn't smoke a whole lot. I wonder if their woodstove has anything to do with it?
Huh… maybe that could be. I’ve never looked into it, but who knows. I guess it just depends on how much damage was done to her lungs when she was smoking. But I think that with the vaccine, that could probably aggravate something that may not have been a problem. My dad also had some type of pneumonia when he was little that you can see scarring in his lungs as well. Do you think that she was ever infected with pneumonia. A more serious case anyway.?
I don't think she was even a heavy smoker (mostly a young adult/social thing) or was even around secondhand smoke too much. She has had allergies since I can remember. It may be due to inoculations she had when she was younger. Who knows!! She did have the current thing virus a couple times, but was a flu, most likely.
Either way, it's surprising and unfortunate and maddening.
Well I’m not sure how old your mother is, but I remember seeing this video in my grandparents house, every single person in that room was smoking. Even the priest. That’s how it was back then. Everybody smoked, so people were exposed to smoke in The workplace, bars, you name it. It wasn’t until the 80s when they actually banned smoking in California. That was the first place it started, no smoking inside bars. So based on her age, I would say respectfully, she could have been exposed to a great deal of secondhand smoke. But none of that really matters now… We have the power of prayer, and a mighty God! Let’s just pray and see what God has in her life! God bless you Lucio and I hope that you have a fantastic day!
