Answers:
Smoking doesn't cause only the obvious lung and breathing problems!. Smoking causes high blood pressure (number one reason for kidney failure/dialysis/cardio vascular problems in the U!.S!.)!. Smokers fair very poorly when they get seriously ill or injured and their tissue renewal for healing is even worse!.

Chronic health problems and especially with breathing can have various reasons!. Smoking is just one main aggravating factor!. However, the vast mayority of smokers will definitly have sooner or later problems (the "healthy" smoker at old age you occasionaly see on some shows/news is the big exception)!. I have yet to meet a smoker (alcoholic/addict/you name it) who is "healthy"!.!.!.!.

Apart from air polution, genetic predispostion, or cardiac problems (which will manifest itself also with dyspnea - breathing problems), smoking only adds to these factors!.

Some non-smokers were previously heavy smokers (or were exposed to 2nd hand smoking) and have permanently damaged lungs!. Some of these unhealthy non-smokers survive by just remaining non-smokers!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because they don't take care of themselves!. Most of what you are talking about are considered modifiable risk factors!. They are things we are in control of - You control whether or not you smoke, exercise, eat healthy, etc!. You do not control how old you are, your race, family history, etc!. So - If you can minimize your modifiable risk factors, you're much better off!. Some people who don't smoke might have crappy genes that gave them crappy diseases, and some smokers might be fortunate to have very good genes that they are not taking very good care of!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
