To summarize.

To summarize my three day course about lungfunction I think this picture pretty much speaks for itself:


Smoking is surprisingly enough increasing in Sweden and it's mostly young woman that stands for that increase. So very sad. Last year was the first year ever that there were more newly diagnosed cases of lung cancer in woman than men in Sweden. Woman have smaller lungs and they seem to be more fragile and develops cancer faster and easier than men. Did young woman just forget that smoking is deadly? And if you don't get lung cancer from smoking you probably will develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and slowly suffocate to death. Inform your children early how dangerous and disgusting it is to smoke, that's what I'm going to do...

  2. Yes, one would think that getting pregnant would be the strongest reason in the world to stop... Sad indeed...
