. I am allergic to smoke per my allergist and I've had bronchitis three times and pneumonia twice in my lifetime. Over the past few years I suffered from smoke from neighbors wood and coal fires. I alos suffer from smoke of fireworks which have become proliferated to excess. I know all of the above contain carcinogens. I had been experiencing chest pains for a couple years and my heart tested fine per EKG and stress test a coule years ago. Now I suspect my lungs. I have sharp pains in my lungs which come and go and neuropathy in my hands and feet. I also suffer from arthritus which I suspect is osteo type. i MOVED TO THE EASTERN SHORE OF md TO A LOW DENSITY AREA SEEKING CLEANER AIR THAN IN SOUTHeast PA..
