No, I don't smoke.  I have enough lung issues without adding to them lol.  I'm already breathing through a ventilator and a trach that is in a hole in my neck if that tells you something, but coughing too much has crossed my mind, but I don't think it's that simple.  Still, thanks for the concern guys and gals and rest assured this isn't going to put me down anytime soon.  The reason why I have a vent and trach however is because I was born with a rare muscle disease that atrophies and weakens my entire body, but exercise and maintaining my health keeps it from getting worse or at least slows it down considerably anyway.  Muscular Dystrophy is the generic name of what I got, and there's a few different strains of the illness that is passed down to the guys every other generation or so if I remember right.  Just a few random facts for ya lol.
