Welcome Grump. Not much action on this group. I joined a few weeks ago and
have only seen a couple of posts, including yours. lol. You sould just
like me. I was diagnosed in 1995 and quit smoking 12/11/2001. I smoked for
34 years and was up to three packs a day; depending on the stress in my life
at the time. There are a couple of copd support groups I am on. If
interested, let me know.
