Before SCHWAB, C.J., and THORNTON and BUTTLER, JJ.


THORNTON, Judge.

This is an appeal by the employer from the allowance of a claim for aggravation. Claimant suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and reactive airway disease, which all doctors agree is not work-related in this case. Claimant has worked in a planing mill for 27 years exposed to nonspecific types of dust and fumes. He smoked one pack of cigarettes per day for 40 years prior to quitting six months before he terminated employment.
