Dear Margie,

    Yes, you're right about the COPD. I looked it up when a very dear
    friend was recently diagnosed with it. It's apparently an umbrella
    term for a combination of emphysema with asthma. My friend has
    smoked all her adult life and is very poorly with it, she's been told
    that she'll be on oxygen within the next five years and probably dead
    within ten. So if we can avoid such a debilitating illness then we
    should make all efforts to do so.
