North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is suffering from chronic laryngitis - probably because of excessive smoking and drinking - and he can’t work without resting every other day, a news report said Wednesday. The disease worsened last month, though the 67-year-old leader has recovered much from last year’s reported stroke and a kidney disease, said the Seoul-based Open Radio for North Korea, a radio station specializing in North Korean news.
