It’s only smoking that keeps my wife alive!

A young doctor was carrying out research into Coal Miners Pneumoconiosis (“Coal Dust Disease”), which gradually destroys the lungs.
He was visiting the Miners Social Clubs, interviewing ex-miners who had the disease. In any research involving the lungs it is essential to know whether the person is exposed to tobacco smoke – his own or other peoples.
“So, Bill, are you still smoking tobacco?”
“I am,” replied Bill.
“But don’t you know how bad smoking is for the lungs, especially for someone like you with “the dust”?”
“Certainly, doctor, but it’s only smoking that keeps my wife alive!”
“How do you mean?” asked the doctor, clearly very puzzled.
“Well, if I gave up smoking I’d murder her!”

Ha ha… Really funny. I thought it would be something serious. But it turned out to be really humorous. Simply rocking…
