I am old enough to remember when people still talked about TB as a 
"thing".  I remember I had a friend whose dad was really skinny, smoked, 
and was always coughing.  My ma would say shit about how, "maybe he has 
TB".  I suspect that in cultures where people smoke freely, coughing is a 
pretty normal thing.  Hard to separate smoker hacking from TB hacking, I 
believe.
