A friend who was an asthmatic and also an occasional smoker (I know!!) went along to his annual asthma clinic check-up and admitted to his doctor smoking the occasional fag. The doctor admonished him and said 'Look at this' and put a slide under the microscope. It was black. 'That' the doctor said 'was a lung section from a heavy smoker. Now look at this'...and he put another slide under the scope which this time was pink and detailed. 'What do you think about that?' the doctor asked. My friend thought a little and replied, 'I think I'd like to know what the guy with the pink lung died from'.....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
