“I learned in grad school from a nursing professor that only 15% of smokers will actually develop cancer. Where he got that stat & if it’s true I don’t know but it’s interesting.”
Never mind cancer it is COPD that you have to worry about. When I hear of someone getting that I know why they got it SMOKING! Like my last idiot redneck neighbor who was ordered by her doctor to quit smoking because she was getting it but still took off her patch to smoke. I don’t feel any pity for her in fact when she has to haul an oxygen tank around 24/7 I will laugh in her face and say “you just had to smoke didn’t you?”
and raybbr you are correct is it private business let them hire who they don’t want!
The #1 cause of COPD worldwide is unvented wood and coal fires. It also has causes other than smoking.
