Unless things have changed, there's not a whole lot you can do about COPD in the field.

He's 83.

People in their 80s tend to get sick and have health problems, no matter how they lived.

How much do you want to live past that anyway?

Only if they're never exposed to second, third and fourth hand smoke either. Sixth hand smoke also shows signs of jeopardizing immortality.

I always love when articles must say they were "rushed" to the hospital. No shit do you think the squad stopped off for coffee with him in the truck? No need to put rushed

Telling my age here, saw him in Star Trek on a B&W TV.
Parents liked the show because they knew I'd have my homework done before it came on so I could watch it.

Live long and prosper, he did.
BTW. That was a Jewish blessing that he had added to the show.

He did smoke for 30 years or so. He quit when in his 50's. He had COPD.

He was a very good actor. Did some Broadway too. In a lot of shows in the 50's and 60's before and even after Star Trek typecast him.

So smoke and you may die at the young age of 83?

BTW those Trekkies live to be fucken old. Captian Kurk looks great for 83.

Chekhov and Uhuru aren't really "main" characters. I suppose Takei would qualify, though.
