"If anyone, anyone is thinking of taking any chances, just take a look at me. I'm in the intensive care unit. I can't breathe without this," she says between coughing fits in the video.
Langston is a former smoker but has no other underlying conditions.
"Please, none of you take any chances. I mean it," she continues. "Because if it gets really bad then you're going to end up here, OK?"
