CDC Tips From Former Smokers - Michael- I Live in Constant Fear

About

Michael, an Alaska Native, was shocked when doctors found serious lung damage from smoking. He was only 44. He always thought he'd be an old man before smoking ever hurt him. In this video from CDC's Tips From Former Smokers campaign, Michael talks about living in constant fear. Smoking gave Michael COPD, a disease that makes it harder and harder to breathe. He says, "If I get the flu, I can die."
