Leonard Nimoy’s widow warns smokers ‘you always think you have more time than you do’

Leonard Nimoy's widow is urging current smokers to quit now before they come down with the same lung disease that killed her husband.

In a new commercial for the CDC's Tips From Former Smokers campaign, Susan Nimoy explained that the actor had 'chronic breathing difficulties for as long as I knew him.'

She added that Nimoy was always convinced that he would die of lung cancer, but not from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a group of diseases that include emphysema and bronchitis, especially years after he had quit.
