Reason 10 to Quit Smoking...

Reason 10: Risk of Getting Emphysema; Fortunately I was able to escape smoking before I was diagnosed with emphysema, but I recently heard that someone of someone I know was diagnosed. An Aunt of a friend that's been smoking for 20+ years. I know I've heard that long-time smokers are at risk, but are you actually aware of what it is? Why in the world do we do this to ourselves?!

Emphysema, also known as COPD, is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Emphysema means that the flow of air in and out of the lungs is less than it should be and makes it hard to breathe. When that happens less oxygen gets into the body tissues and it becomes harder to get rid of carbon dioxide which is the waste gas. There is no cure for this, but there are preventative measures, which is to STOP SMOKING.
