Why Do Doctors Tell Me That I Have Heart And Lungs Of A Healthy 50 Year Old ?
I'm 75, why do doctors tell me that I have the heart and lungs of a healthy 50 year old ? I have smoked for over 61 years. Nearly all of my relatives were smokers and lived well into their 80s and 90s. None ever died of a Smoking Related Illness .
