My hubs has pleural plaqes...and Emphysema.....
Back in his days as a Lagger...working with Asbestos...and Smoking...were both not considered dangerous..until it was prooved...
By the time they banned Asbestos ,the damage was already there...
He chose to carry on smoking ,even after all the dangers were prooved...smoking was bad for you...
He carried on until he physically couldn't take another puff...
The outcome 16 hrs a day on oxygen...
The government here ...stopped all claims for pleural plaqe...there were too many...it has to be cancer related now...
I still feel educated the young in schools ..at a early age...they still teach cooking...why not addiction ..and the damage it can cause...
