Was my doctor right to say this?

I've had concerns about symptoms for a while now due to smoking. She didn't want to look into it. She said "You've only been smoking 20 years, you don't have cancer"

There are tons of issues that can result from smoking not the least of which is the destruction of the alveolar-capillary membrane which transfers oxygen from the lungs into the blood stream. Once this is damaged even if you quit smoking it is not self repairing.

Eventually the lack of oxygen in the blood will cause a form of suffocation to your entire body and you will be gasping for air.

Stop smoking immediately and go see a real doctor, a Doctor of Naturapathic Medicine. No, I am not kidding!
