Just adding to everyone else - Mother-in-law had emphysema. Diagnosed very late on in life and smoked right until she was told the news. She gave up strait away and it have her an extra 10 years or more - You have the advantage seeing as you gave up a good while back.

It is a debilitating illness and I can understand the worry but follow Richards advice and you can make sure you are nowhere near as badly affected as some. There will be times when you wonder if they got it wrong and you are perfectly healthy but don't let it fool you - Keep the meds going and make sure you don't take any unecessary risks.

Keep well and maybe we will not stay in a wet caravan drinking spiced rum again but we weil see you over here again:-)

Cheers
