Quote by: Technosoul  His getto science did not say if he was a former smoker or not. So we cannot really determine anything about the results he claimed. I did make any brown spot when breathing through a tissue eather, when in-between smoking a cigarette. So apparently the smoke inhaled can collect pollution already in the lungs and help to exspell it, which would be handy if you live in the city with lots of smog. |
This site shows a city dweller's lung and a smoker's lung. There's an appreciable difference. Fact is the tests have been done. There's conclusive evidence that cigarettes cause cancer.

However stain is just coloring, if you drink cranberry juice you can get stains, that does not determine that it is unhealthy.

Tar is sticky and kills the cilia which are the lungs method of self-cleaning.

You can become a redneck by gettng exposed to the sun, that does not mean you are more likely to be unhealthy, stain might give something white some color but how do you link that to being healthy or not? Only coloring caused by decay would represent something relative. If you turn pale it might be a sign to call the Doc. For color to be a relative concern it must be caused by an actual disease.

In the case of the lungs they are damaged more intensely from the smoke, just like too much sun damages the skin. The lungs are a major organ that need to be treated with care. Avoiding cigarette smoke will greatly improve your chances of living a healthier life.
