    Yes, I was working in the shop on a buckle for pidperDBH, and I got to thinking about it: if I remember correctly (from 1982), smoking elicits a protagonistic/antagnoistic feedback loop that involves the A1AT inhibitor. Now, remember, this is 30 years ago, so there may be some new science that transcends, but you get the point.

    Smoking a few won't really hurt. But somewhere a body does cross the line, and that line varies among us bodies.

    If there ever was anything 'historical' in this thread, I missed it. It seems that all we have been talking about from the very beginning was non-wool, "pollution", particles, and their known/likely effects on the body, specifically the pulmonary system.
