You ask some very strange questions and make strange sweeping statements! All kinds of people can end up in wheelchairs. Smoking doesn't automatically put you there as you would need to be very severe to end up in one. And maybe not even then.

You seem to have a bit of an obsession with smoking - is there a reason why?

I wonder if you are suffering from Health Anxiety?

I worry something. I could not walk and when I walk I feel very week. Sometimes better.

Well if you have a medical question you need to get checked out by the doctors. If they have checked you out and found nothing then it sounds like health anxiety. Look up the symptoms of this and you will see how common your symptoms are,

There are a few mental health sites on here so maybe it would be a good idea to join one?

Yes it is a risk factor of course but it doesn't mean you will have health problems from smoking. Many people don't or very few whilst others aren't lucky. Most of those who' smoking has led to health problems have been heavy smokers over many years. I smoked for 35 years before I was diagnosed with copd. How old are you?

I am 43. and smoked 20 years every day. I breath smoke directly to lungs every time I smoke. Some people say he inhales smoke. But when I saw them smoking I understand that its not truth. Other people just inhale it sometimes. If people inhale smoke it goes out trough the nose too. Not just only trough mouth.I thought all people smoke like this.Some friends told me before that they don't breath the smoke directly.

I know one mane who smoked 40 years and never think he has Copd. But he has a cough.
