You must be a Vietnam Veteran.  Go to the VA and get tested - you are covered by the VA and you deserve to get diagnosed.  Hope Agent Orange isn't what you have.

My hubby is a Vietnam Vet - 2 tours 1964-1969.

Please let us know how your doing.

Personally, I think many things can cause it. I do not believe that only smokers get it, because in all actuality only 25% of all smokers do. Quitting smoking does help tho, keeps it from progressing in a fast manner. They simply do not know, and are guessing, and my guess is Yes!
