    What about picture of Cannabis smoker's lungs?

  • joshuapelland

    I'd also like to see comparison between those who smoke Tobacco, or Cannabis, and then again those who smoke both. I believe the Cannabis clears out the tar and is anticarginogenic so it at least partially reverses the damage. Obviously best to vaporize ganja and use no nicotine at all :)

    Oh yes, more terrible lung images. I dont think they actually work to get people to quit smoking – that is until they are almost ready. It is a useful tool to help push a smoker over the edge to become a non-smoker so soemtimes the shock does work.
    Check my signature for another pretty disgusting lung comparison image if you dare.

    ! Chlorophyll is not only a
    coloring pigment in plants but has great immunity-boosting properties for
    humans as well. Overall, this is the best natural source of a rich variety of
    complex natural elements, better than the amount of meat we eat to cover our
    daily protein intake.

    Chlorella benefits include help in the reduction
    of degenerative illnesses, relief from arthritis soreness, help in
    losing weight and aid in Candida albicans treatment. If you are searching for
    one food that can do everything, check out chlorella. A number of researches
    has proven the chlorella benefits and you can receive these also.

  • https://www.chlorella-world.com/ chlorella

    Japan, for example, has focused on chlorella and
    its capacity to help detoxify your body and reduce the effects of or clear away
    toxic elements and substances which might be poisonous. Scientific studies in
    the states and Europe have supported these results . Using this method normally
    requires from 3 to 6 months and may depend largely on how much chlorella you
    have added to your food consumption.

    I used to be a smoker from the age of 15, i am now 62, when i was 47 yrs old i suffered a heart attack and had to have heart by-pass surgery six months later, i have tried nicotine patches and chewing gum with little success because to me i was still putting nicotine into my body and found the only way i can do it is go cold turkey.
    which ever way you choose to give up smoking ,it will be the most positive thing you could possible do, no more bad chests, smelly clothes, bad breath ,etc and most of all possibly keeping your lungs from getting cancer.
    This year 2011 has been a terrible year for me and my family, my two older brothers [tw ins] both died within 11 weeks of each other, the first died on march 7th with a massive heart attack and it was his first and only H.A.,  and his brother died may 28th with lung cancer which spread to other parts of his body and there was nothing anyone could do to save him.

    I’m sad to see how bad the effects of pollution are on our lungs. I don’t smoke, our lungs show enough damage without cigarettes. Just look at the bottom picture of the “healthy” lung, all those carbon deposits. Disgusting, American needs to work on cleaning its air. 
    Smoking is a choice, having to breath in polluted air is not!
