Now the instructor, who started smoking at the age of eight, opens up about his situation in more detail Peoplein an interview with the magazine. Four years after the diagnosis, Lynch can no longer do anything other than walk from room to room without supplemental oxygen.
“I tried to quit many, many times, but it only succeeded with the diagnosis. I realized I would die in a week if I didn’t stop smoking. Living with emphysema is not easy. I can barely walk across the room. I feel like I have a plastic bag on my head all the time.”
Lynch’s most recent directorial effort, Twin Peaks: The Return, was released in 2017:
