What about picture of Cannabis smoker's lungs?
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
Just came and read, this is wow! I was seek from many blogs, but here is the best, I love it.
Going to try giving up smoking and actually think this may help.
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.

i’ll try to persuade my mother to refrein from smoking
! 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.
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!

I know what you mean, I’m 45 and my most recent chest xray showed COPD, I’ve been smoking since I was 11 I also have shortness of breath and stomach ulcers so this is what you have to look forward to in as little as 10 years. I hope this will help you before you do as much damage as I have. Good Luck, I’ll say a quick prayer for you while I’m begging God to help me.
When you do show your step dad be supportive and willing to help him, go fishing or to a ball game or whatever to help distract him. It’s really hard to quit even if you get a diagnoses of COPD or emphysema, I know this because I am going through it alone other than the support of my fb friends.
I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my baby brother when I was 6 he was 2 and fell in the water and drowned. I havea friend who just had a heart attack and had stints put in he had to quit cold turkey, my step dad died of a massive heart attack in December and he wasn’t a smoker other than an occasional pipe. I am having to quit due to a diagnosis of COPD and I’m only 45, I also lost both of my grand parents on my moms side and my grandmother on my dads side years ago and my dad 5 years ago all to smoking related illnesses. Your post reminded me how many people I have lost in my family to smoking related stuff. So Thank You for that, and good luck with everything.
Hi… I am also using the E-cig.. i know its not approved by the FDA, but i have decided it is at least safer than cigarettes. It only contains nicotine, which is bad enough, however, it removes all the other carcinogenic components from the smoking of conventional cigarettes. Im almost 5 weeks into my journey, and i’m already feeling the benefits, both healthwise and financial…best of luck to all and i hope ye all succeed in kicking this nasty habit no matter how you succeed

Carbon deposits in lung tissue? Is this something that we are taking seriously or has it simply become acceptable to populate polluted urban areas? With all of our resources…
Thanks for putting the pictures on t. he internet. They’ll help me to convince family members to quit smoking. I started to smoke when I was about 14. I smoked for about 10 years and at the end I was using 3 packs per day. One day I saw a program on TV about a man who was dying from lung cancer. Before he died he, his wife and his children were interviewed concerning how the smoking was changing their lives. After the man died an autopsy was done and his lungs were displayed along side of the lungs from a nonsmoker. I stopped smoking on that day. I’ve never smoked since and my doctors say that they can NOT find any damage or evidence that I ever smoked. I’m 73 years old now and going strong. I did have some side effects from quitting. I would wake up at night and be all worked up and frustrated. I figured out that I had been dreaming and in my dreams I had smoked. In my dreams I would be upset with myself for smoking and it would wake me up. The dreams stopped along with my being upset.
