Precisely six months ago I was at a meeting chaired by a professor of lung diseases at The Ohio State University Hospital, and his subject for the day was emphysema. He put up Johnny Carson's picture on the slide show and asked us to observe how Johnny Carson was breathing and precisely told us how emphysema affects a smoker after many years of smoking, in this case maybe 25 years of smoking. The patient in this case, Johnny Carson, was leaning forward, his chest muscles were working 10 times more than a normal person, and the patient was disabled and had entered into a phase of emphysema called end-stage emphysema undoubtedly caused by the tobacco smoking habit.
Now we all know that we are mortals and we are all going to die one day. As doctors, we are in the business of promoting healthy habits and in so doing give people a healthy quality of life. It is a crime to have a patient live to the age of 95 if the patient is hooked onto oxygen and other medical means to improve the quality of life. What this doctor was trying to tell us was that this could have been avoided.
The blame lies solely on the habit of smoking and during the recent television broadcast about Mr. Carson after he died there was a comment by one of the TV commentators that Mr. Carson had cleverly hidden an ashtray between his desk and in between shots he was smoking.
Johnny Carson was a great man, one of the most intelligent people who amassed a lot of wealth, but unfortunately wealth could not buy him health. Yes, wealth does not translate into health. You have to have health to enjoy your wealth. A lot of times what you do affects your health. One of these instances is smoking. There is a lot to be learned by looking at Mr. Carson. The popular belief that smoking causes cancer is true.
It is not lung cancer that doctors are concerned about when their patient's come to them - it is heart disease, it is peripheral artery disease and the silent killer emphysema. Emphysema kills in inches. We as doctors have met several patients who have said that they would rather die than spend their lives worrying about breathing, not even able to talk, with millions of dollars in their bank accounts, and with the latest yachts, planes and toys at their behest.
While Mr. Carson received several gifts from God in the form of talent, vocabulary and intelligence, he fell prey to the addiction of smoking. Smoking is a silent killer and we need to learn several lessons from this great man's life which could have been changed if only he had no pursued the habit of smoking.
Smokers can quit, this has been emphasized and put into practice. True, it is an addiction, but if you really want to do it, there are many ways to quit - starting from prayer and discipline. Mind you the results are great and priceless.
The Barnesville Hospital Association has proclaimed that this institution will become tobacco free as of Nov. 19. Those who smoke have made a choice.
Smoking cessation is a difficult task. The measures to be taken should never be punitive, it should be educative and collegial. The relentless pursuit of health will sometimes need this important ingredient, education and gentle persuasion!
