“Well, you turned out okay.,didn’t you?”

At 55 I had chest discomfort that led to a visit to a cardiologist.....a heart cath revealed a 90% blockage in the LAD artery so I ended up with a stent. So you tell me.

Did second hand smoke cause that? Who knows, but it sure didn’t help.

Am familiar with the LAD...”Widow maker”. No lecture but hasn’t tobacco been portrayed ad nauseam as the root cause of all of mankinds maladies? I’m a natural skeptic/contrarian but by no means advocate inhaling if you do smoke. 2nd hand too dilute to be a problem except if one doesn’t like smell.

Good luck with those coronary arteries and stay on top of it! Godspeed.
