The statistics are something like 90% men to 10% women. Its a real rarity in women, much like menopause in men.

I suffered a pneumothoraxes four years ago.
I was 17 at the time but a non smoker. when i was in the hospital the doctor asked me if i smoked and i told him i did not. When my parents arrived he brought them aside and told them that even though i had denied it i was atually a smoker.
Now this is a touchy subject at home and i got quite an ear load over the following weeks. If i had been able to walk at the time i would have killed the bastard.
