Mother who has never smoked a cigarette has terminal lung disease because of her parents' 60-a-day habit

A mother is suffering from a terminal smoking disease - even though she has never had a cigarette in her life.

Lynda Mitchell, 52, is dying from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, but has always despised tobacco.

The mother of one blames the illness on her parents who each puffed 60 cigarettes a day.

The former factory worker yesterday issued a stark warning to parents about the hazards of smoking around their children.

Lynda, of Withywood, Bristol, said: 'I will die from second hand smoke and I have never smoked in my life.

'My mum used to get up in the morning and light a cigarette. She smoked about 60 a day.

'I'd get up in the morning and the first thing that would hit me when I walked down the stairs was the vile smell of smoke. I would cough and cough until I was nearly sick.

'Nobody realised the devastating effects of smoking 50 years ago, they just thought it was fashionable.

'As I got older the information started to filter down about how smoking is bad for you and I was desperate for her to stop as a teenager.

'When mum realised what I had she stopped smoking indoors, but that was the 90s really. The damage was already done. I was finished.'

One cigarette in your car, even with the window down, is like forcing a child to spend an evening in a nightclub full of smokers.'
