Laz and GWN, You might also ask Wharf Rat how many of his co-workers smoke cigarettes. It has been my experience in every hospital I ever worked that the respiratory therapy department is disproportionately represented WRT cigarette-smokers.

Off the job, I smoke a bronchodilating, altzheimer and glaucoma preventing anti-dysphagia drug. It ain't no better for my lungs but it keeps me sane. Trade off. Panama Red And I don't look in a mirror, but that is because I want to remain in denial about my age.
