Do you have factual data supporting your statement that 1/4 of smokers will not get COPD..but will get the things you listed?

Let me guess...you didn't read the study referenced in this article. Go back and try again.

No, guess again..I read the article.

I didn't intend to have a useless polarized debate with you. All I asked of you was for some data supporting your comments/position/conclusion.

I happen to be in the health care profession.....And I tend to to be lead by objective data supported by facts........Nothing more, nothing less....You've supplied none.

If it's any odd comfort to you....my father died of lung cancer, primary from heavy smoking..and I think blatant everyday cigarette smoking is very unhealthy.

FWIW- OO
