But notice, if the smoke is inhaled into the lungs you get more brown stain then if you kept the smoke in the mouth.
That's probably cause you've got a lot of tar in there from previous cigarettes. People who smoke get really black lungs. The lungs do clean themselves, but it's a very slow process, whereas the benefits to quitting are almost immediate on the heart.

This might be evidence that the lungs were already poluted due to breathing air polution from another source. If tar from the cigarette did stick in the lungs how come you get more stain by inhaling? You should get less from a scientific point of view if the smoke is sticking in the lungs and not being breathed out.
Might is the key word here. How about it's unlikely the lungs were polluted so gravely from other sources?

Also (lacking from the experiment) what would happen if you breathed on the tissue and we not smoking?
It would be clean is my guess. I did it, and mine was clean.

Quote:
the experiment showed that you can use smoking to get rid of more polution from the lungs then you put into the lungs. Which would suggest that smoking is good. The smoke acturally collects polution already in your lungs so you can exhale it with the smoke.
The experiment is showing the tar coming out from the cigarette smoke not other pollutants already in your lungs. You're grasping at straws. Wake up and admit that cigarettes are the main cause of lung cancer. People who don't smoke don't get it nearly as often. Why would that be? It's not from other pollutants, it's from the cigarettes.

Don't forget if you do acquire cancer that it does spread, so a non-smoker could have cancer in the lungs, which is usually one of the last places it goes before it kills you.
