Afterword

COPD is primarily a disease of smokers, but that isn’t necessarily the reason that Nimoy got it and eventually died due to complications from it. What he did, however — quitting 30 years earlier — undoubtedly did him extremely well in terms of health and longevity. Regardless of your age, it is a good time to stop smoking. Excellent advice from “Grandpa” Nimoy. I’m sad that he’s gone, but he seems to have led a pretty good life and that’s a lot.
