My husband is a throat cancer survivor, and he has smoked since his early 20's. Automatically, people assume the cancer is because of smoking. Well, neener neener neener, it's not. It's a strain caused by HPV in his younger years, when people weren't vaccinated for it. Cancer doc said it had nothing to do with his smoking; though they ran a full battery of tests to check, lungs were clear.

I'm just... grrr.... this is one of my soap-box triggers. No matter what ailment I have, the doctors have trained me to be reluctant to seek treatment, because it is ALWAYS because "You need to lose weight and quit smoking." Do non-smokers, non-drinkers, and skinny people never have high cholesterol? Never get Covid? Never have heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, appendicitis? I fell and tore my rotator cuff, and I heard the speech. Get a pap smear and I hear the speech. Get a refill on my acid-reflux medicine and I hear the speech.

The hospital I worked at last year "discovered" that smoking caused cancer so they are fanatical about it. When I got sick it was the first question they asked.
They are SO disapointed when I tell them I never smoked a cigarette in my life. Now they have to work. Three hospital stays, 6 cardiac echos, 3 months on home O2, a right & left heart cath later, the definitive conclusion of 24 doctors at this regional teaching- research hospital could offer was "You got sick".

I would love to know as I took my test 47 years ago and had to take both written and driving tests.

Took my road test 60+ years ago....

Vicks Formula 44 I bet? That was nasty but we had it when I was a kid.

Vicks Formula 44 used to be 70 proof....

I remember when Nyquil, the night time sniffling sneezing aching coughing stuffy head fever so you can rest medicine, was almost 25% alcohol and tasted horrific. But it sure worked.

It's still 50 proof
