At one time, I would have considered that possibility. Then a good friend of mine (also a non-smoker) died of lung cancer at the age of 39.

Kaufman also worked the nightclub scene in the 70s, so he was exposed to massive amounts of secondhand smoke.

Yeah I think unless you experience it, it’s hard to understand what the smoke was like back then. Those comedy clubs aren’t well ventilated, often underground. You make a good point.
