As has been said,and I totally agree,
we are predisposed to certain illnesses,a heavy smoker may not necessarily die from a smoking related disease.
Our Family were very good friends with a younger family,who lived across the road,
they both smoked and drank,NOT excessively,however they both liked their food,as well as their little boy,and were ALL overweight.
They both decided to go on a health kick,and gave up the smokes,and grog,entirely,went walking,etc,and lost so much weight,
I almost didn't recognise them,at our eldest daughters 30th birthday,(they had moved from across the road,to the next town,4klm's away ),six months earlier.
Our dear friend,passed away 8 months later from Lukaemia,
She was just 34.
I am very wary,of sudden dramatic,changes in lifestyle,
This is not the only instance,of someone I was close to,or just known,had problems,after a big lifestyle change.
Makes you wonder at times,
As I said,I gave up smoking,and got Diabetes,
I think I will stick with the devil I know.
Regards.
John
