I have heard of people developing emphysema, even tho they gave up smoking very early on, 20 years after giving up. but then there are many people who get emphysema, lung cancer, cancers in general ect. and who had never smoked or drank and were virtually athletes that ate very healthily all their lives! so its no garuantee of anything - as they say you got to die of something! if you can have a natural predisposition to something too!
I would agree with wraithe, old age is the biggest killer of all out there lol.
My granddad died of emphysema from smoking in his 70's after years of horrible suffering, I would fear that more than cancer, at least that is mercifully quick to kill you!
