Climate can't help. lungs People who have breathing troubles, from lung diseases and allergies, often think that moving to another climate from where they now live will help. Often it doesn't. Climate is no cure for emphysema, bronchitis or asthma, This is one of the things that physicians have found it necessary to point out to people for some years. Sufferers from lung disease have long had the notion that moving to a state like Arizona will solve their problems. But, too often, those that do find the same or other problems waiting for them. Every lung sufferer is different. What's good for one may be bad for another. The very hot and often very dry summers in ,Arizona, for example, may be just the thing for some patients, but just the wrong thing for many others. The Arizona Lung Association gives information to people who are smart enough to inquire about living conditions there before making plans to move. It points out that there are mountains as well as dese its in that state and pollens from p lants growing in both areas. AlSo, like every other part Of the country, Arizona TIOW has a goodly share of air pollution.
