Question: Is snoring genetic? In the past ten years my mom has become a major snorer.  I'm wondering if this means I will too, or if genetics has nothing to do with it.

Answer: Not really genetic.  As we get older our throat muscles get flabbier so they vibrate more.  Also, if your mom has gotten heavier, not unusual as you get older, she'll start snoring more.
