rockinrick Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 i dont want to put a spanner in anyones works but i smoked for 30+ years while around pigeons i never contracted pl , i gave up smoking 18months ago i have since contracted pl :-/ so i do believe there is something in the fact that if you smoke you stand less chance of getting it .

Guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Honestly think you are taking away the importance of both health issues when you infer OK to smoke , as less likely to catch pigeon lung. and contract cancer? Also suspect PL is more to do with today´s closed-up lofts than yesterdays industrial diseases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
