A Sacramento mother came up with an unusual form of punishment for her son, after she caught him smoking marijuana. She made him stand at a street corner for eight hours - holding a sign that says "I'm stupid, I smoke marijuana." The -year-old's mom says she has caught him before, but the previous punishment didn't work. She wants her son to understand the health consequences of smoking pot, since he has both asthma and emphysema. The boy promises he won't ever use marijuana again.

Wow, He sure is young to have emphysema -- How will that affect him when he gets older? Will he get older?

Can the genes be passed down for emphysema? I have never heard of it. But, how would he get it so young, Good question Cheryl I never thought of his age.

I suspect it was a typo Cheryl
since she has both asthma and emphysema.
One letter makes a difference, its her with emphysema

Larry I thought he was a little young to have emphysema, but wasn't sure if it might be possible. Thanks for clearing that up Larry.

Had me wondering and even looking. Now Larry was you trying to make me search the net more. I don't have to punch in COPD any more it just goes to the sites and information because I am there so much. And if you believe that I have some ocean front property in Arizona.
