Lung Scan (smoker)

2021-10-06 10:12:31
I am a smoker for long. I am slowly getting into a better health regime, and have reduced smoking a bit now Not that I have any breathing difficulties right now, but like any blood tests for general checkup. I think I should also go for a proper lung checkup now. Thanks Tushar
