What are the signs of premature emphysema??
This is principally a question for a doctor. The early stages of emphysema are difficult to detect by a lay person. By the time the signs are obvious the disease has already got a strong foothold. If you have any questions a doctor can have a lung function test performed. Some clinics or hospitals may even have offer free screening. I have acquired a publication on emphysema from the American Lung Assoc. that is quite detailed. The information is now at http://www.smokehelp.org/html/lung_disease.html.
