Re: Sorry if this upsets you.
I've seen similar before AB. I was a smoker 20 years ago, so maybe my lungs would look a mixture of the two photos. A few people in our family died of lung problems. All smokers.Mind you, neither of those lungs are doing the people they came from any good. The person who had the healthy one must have died of something else, so not damaging the lung with smoke possibly didn't make them live longer.
Edit: Or neither of them may have actually died from lung problems I suppose.

Might be 100year old lung compared with a
45 year old lung ??

Re: Sorry if this upsets you.
Of course you are all right in trying to stop people killing themselves through smoking, and I don't want get into a smoking debate, I simply want to make a comparison.Some people are eating themselves to death with all kinds of junk food, just look at the obesity problem in the USA, yet nobody takes a very large person, puts them at the top of the classroom and points out: 'This is what you will look like if you don't stop eating junk food'. But the person (like me) who was told when young that smoking was what real men did, and anyone who didn't smoke was a sissy, end up being treated like a social leper, is that fair?.
I will never stop my 30 a day habit, I'm too old for that now, besides I don't want to be healthy when I'm dying.

Re: Sorry if this upsets you.
I know just what you're saying, even the doctors told you to smoke if the nerves were bad, it isn't the dying bit its the living death, if we got ill then died okay but its the living or trying to with a condition that could have been avoided. Everyone has to live their own lives, fat, thin etc but to know the facts so you can make choices is good.11-06-2010, 07:48 AM
