Everybody knows that smoking is not good for health. No matter what you smoke; tobacco, cigar, cigarette, or whatever it is, they still bring negative effects to the lung and also to the people next to you.
How many of you knows that smoking brings you harm but still can't quit smoking yet? And what is your plan in the future? Do you ever think of quitting?

I have many friends and relatives who smokes continuously and they seem like they will never smoke. I have one uncle who is now in the hospital because the doctor diagnosed him having lung cancer due to excessive smoking. His lungs are bleeding and there are a lot of liquid being sipped out from his lungs by using a long tube. The doctors had to made an incision on his stomach to make a hole to insert the tube. Now he is very skinny because he has lost his appetite. I pity for him but this is the price he had to pay for his act of smoking before.

Yes, smoking is so dangerous and can be fatal also. From what I learned, lung cancer has bad prognosis and from the research studies, the mortality rate is 90%; meaning that only 10% can survive.
Is your uncle diagnosed as having chronic COPD? Pity him. Hope his condition can get better.
Being a passive smoker can be a lot dangerous than being a smoker as the smoke you inhaled enter you lungs without being expel from your lungs.

My auntie said it is chronic lung cancer. I hope he can get better, and I pray he will.
