the simply reason that it tears and In
flames the lungs. The lungs consist
of an extraordinarily delicate, sponge

cough. But, obviously, if we remove it
violently we must necessarily iniure
the delicate lung tissue. Therefore
train yourself to cough as gently as
possible. After a little practice you
will find it quite easy to do so. In
that way you will do minimum of
mischief to the lungs and add years
to your life.
