Do you mean......... joyclyn Elders was RIGHT after all????? We are ALL going to die of SOMETHING?????? Oh no we are....... DOOMED!

All kidding aside, if I have any sayso in the way I die, I don't want it to be emphysema and all longtime smokers get emphysema. They may die from something else but they also have emphysema. I was an asthmatic child and I don't want to die while struggling for a breath (Please God).
