Leonard Nimoy Addresses Health Concerns

On Wednesday, Leonard Nimoy addressed rumors regarding his health, after being seen in a wheelchair at a New York airport, earlier this week.

In a tweet, Nimoy, now 82, said:

Leonard Nimoy@TheRealNimoy
I quit smoking 30 yrs ago. Not soon enough. I have COPD. Grandpa says, quit now!! LLAP
6:44 PM - 29 Jan 2014

According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. ?Progressive? means the disease gets worse over time.

COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms.

Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Most people who have COPD smoke or used to smoke. Long-term exposure to other lung irritants?such as air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust?also may contribute to COPD.

Since retiring from convention appearances in 2011, Nimoy appeared in an Audi commercial with Zachary Quinto, Star Trek Into Darkness, as Spock (Prime), and gave the convocation speech to BU graduates, in 2012.

We here at TrekNews.net wish Mr. Nimoy all the best. LLAP, sir.

"The octogenarian, who has previously had abdominal surgery in 2010, had was photographed in the wheelchair upon his return from a holiday resort in the Carribbean."

    My dad has COPD it is treatable and you can live for years with it.

    it is a horrible illness and isnt curable but like I said it can be managed and treated to let u live as normal a life as possible.

    Here?s some 1970′s Nimoy, in an era of some of the ugliest fashion ever (oh wait, it got worse in the 1980′s!) Nimoy mostly pulled it off!

    That pic of him with Nichelle and George reminds me of the story about TAS and the stand he took for those two. Originally they were going to have others voice Uhura and Sulu. Both were not the nationality of the characters. Nimoy was already on board when the news broke. He told the producers that Trek was about all races of Earth coming together which Nichelle and George both showed. And if they weren't to do their roles they made famous, he wasn't going to do Spock. The producers immediately went and got Nichelle and George signed on.

    Spock has a pimp hand. :)

    Wishing Mr. Nimoy all the best!!!!!!

    Lifetime no longer gives a forum title. That should be updated on the Lifetime page that mentions what you get. PMing the CSR doesn't work neither.

    considering his frail appearance and while i wouldnt wish ill on the man, however, it seems he may not be around for much longer. if that is the case i hope he passes in his sleep.

    otherwise i wish him the best.

    Having seen how my friend suffered before her death, I wouldn't wish the illness on anyone :(

    Ok, so he is my most fav actor and meant a lot to me growing up. He deserves a bit of gratitude, so I proffer this thread about him. This web sale site seems to be his with the proceeds going to him, and we should show him support in this dire time for him.

    Leonard Nimoy Reveals He Has Lung Disease

    http://celebrity.yahoo.com/blogs/celeb-news/leonard-nimoy-reveals-he-has-copd--warns-against-smoking-223318587.html

    It's too late for Leonard Nimoy, but he wants his fans to know that they should quit smoking now.

    The 82-year-old actor, who's played the iconic role of Spock in "Star Trek" TV shows and movies since 1966, has revealed that he has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from his days as a smoker.

    "I quit smoking 30 yrs ago. Not soon enough. I have COPD. Grandpa says, quit now!! LLAP" he wrote on Twitter, referencing the traditional Vulcan salutation, live long and prosper.

    COPD is a disease that makes it increasingly difficult to breathe, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Patients who have it often have the conditions of emphysema and chronic bronchitis, and experience tightening of the chest, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD, which is now the third leading cause of death in the United States.

    Last week, Nimoy raised questions about his health when he was spotted riding in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank as he passed through New York's JFK Airport. Mainly, it was because the octogenarian has continued to be active and never really retired. He reprised his most famous role in last year's "Star Trek Into Darkness" and appeared on Fox's "Fringe" in 2012.

    I wish Nimoy the best and hope he gets through this okay. He could very well live to complete a century if he does.

    Nimoy is an icon for Trek fans; and I didn't know of it till I read this.
    I hope he will still be among us for years to come and that he can still have a reasonably comfortable life with the required care for his condition.

    And cigarettes? It's not meaningless that some people call them 'cancersticks' or 'deathsticks'. Drugs are bad, whether it is alcohol, dope or cigs, but people still consume them. Look at the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. I hope Nimoy's plea does not fall into deaf men's ears...

    Live long and prosper, Leonard.
    Tyr shall give me strength!

    This is sad to hear. But I hope when he looks back he looks at a good and fruitful life. Not that it can really help against the disease or the pain, discomfort and possible fears that it comes with, but - it might offer some solace.

    My wife has COPD and never smoked a day in her life.
    Leonard should be fine as long as he follows his doctors orders and is careful not to irritate his COPD.

    He is right though, modern ciggs suck. Stop before its too late.
    Leonard Nimoy, Spock.....:(

    Found and article saying our beloved Spock actor is is suffering from COPD and is in very poor health. Here's hoping he gets better soon and that he'll be around for a long time to come!
