Did anyone see the documentary about Liz Dawn and why she was killed of in Corrie? She has COPD through heavy smoking and now has only one third of her lung capacity left. Although she's not getting any worse, due to her own determination to stop smoking and the therapy she's receiving, she still gets breathless just walking a few steps, so she was forced to stop acting.
I thought it was a great shame really, because when she started smoking, at age 14, I think, at a time when smoking was fashionable and no one really knew what the health risks were.
Liz gave up smoking 5 years ago under doctors orders and now takes drugs several times a day. If she hadn't she wouldn't have needed a soap plot to kill her off. It would have happened for real.
Sobering thought for anyone of you who smokes heavily.
