Chuck,
Thanks for adding your comments. Yes, I meant to add that I eventually
went to the University of Arizona Medical Center and was able to get a
good deal of help - They did provide a number of chest x-rays and other
images of both smokers and non smokers. They also had a department of
respiratory sciences which help a lot on the developement of out lung
capacity tester.
