Emphysema is caused due to smoking. If you used to smoke 20 years ago but now you don’t your lungs are probably healthy. However, if you are exposed to a lot of pollution and live in industrialized cities, it is better you get a proper diagnosis done for assurance.

funny. I just got a diagnosis of emphysema and quit smoking 26 years ago. I live in a small semi rural community on Vancouver island. negligible industry and no pollution
I was a smoker for 20 years, it has seriously effected my health, I couldnt run at all, I struggled to walk up the stairs. I decided I had to give up, at the age of 36 I felt like I was an old man and ready for the scrapyard. I tried various ways to give up and really struggled. Then I actually tried self hypnosis and that actually did the trick for me. Yes I out on a few pounds in weight for a couple of months, but I soon stopped the over eating and things went back to normal. Its taken me over a year now but I do feel so much better, I can actually jog up the stairs and my kids are so pleased to see me being active.
