[QUOTE=BCRider;7757838]Did he mention the 3 packs a day that he smoked for 18 years?
I had cancer of the larnyx in 95 and lost all of one vocal chord and half of the other. I smoked 2 packs a day for 30 years. Most of the laryngectomies I've talked to smoked, worked in petro-chemical or the rag trade.
The only effect today is that I have to stay well hydrated or my throat itches.
