Hi BlakeyC yep is all very bad .. But i know why thay say you should stop smoking if you have lung condition and already cooked ya beanz

I thought thay was just laying it on but no is grim

Hi all my post started out as something quite innocent ..

Like your GP or lung specialist shaking your hand i was nieve thinking it was out of friendliness but no its not ... But now a know why he kept looking at my hand

But if its any conciliation drinkers to are as much risk as smokers

Defo agree with you there .. Cheers an try have good night all the best

Hi

Finger clubbing is a symptom of sjogren's syndrome and I suspect possibly some other auto-immune diseases which can cause lung fibrosis.

Cheers all the best :)
