Which means that 75% NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM, so why not report it that way?!

Because the risk of COPD is much higher than was previously believed. That's the news-part of this.

Over the 25 years, none of these ex-smokers developed severe COPD.

That's a better rate than those who never smoked. Hmmm....

wow... who'd a thunk that inhaling a mixture of irritants, mutagens, and toxins could have serious health ramifications for a significant percentage of those who do so.
Yet another study from The Center for Figuring Out Obvious Things /rant

though I guess the actual percentages weren't obvious, along with the recovery rate after stopping smoking

The other 75% get heart disease, cancer, and bad breath.

That is GOOD NEWS! I used to think it was a 100% certainty to develop COPD and about as high to get Cancer!

Guess that proves again to limit reading of the MSM...Too much misleading information being published for my tastes.

BTW, what is the REAL news on the Economy and the War?
