COPD/Emphysema is a nice little disease-Just kills you a LITTLE each day, nothing to bother you with, really... Until you realize that shortness of breath makes you wheeze like you just ran a marathon trying to get from yr bed to the bathroom...

I've seen the effects of that, yikes. My mom fortunately uses inhalers now, and never chain-smoked. Kind of counter-intuitive that I didn't get into that or drinking, considering that I grew up around those who did both in excess.
