Quote by: Marilyn Monroe  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. Joel's Library - Smoking's Impact on the Lungs
Tar is sticky and kills the cilia which are the lungs method of self-cleaning.
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. |
I am not going to look at some ugly photos of lungs, they showed me those photos back in highschool in 1956. This is why they put red dye in the hamburger meat you buy at the store, so it will not look spoiled or brown, because we think certain colors are "bad". To clean the cilia just eat one cup of veggie greens everyday. Check out health-diet pages to find out which greens are the best. Or that book about preventing cancer with a good diet.
If you grew up not wearing clothing like some native peoples do then the sun would not damage the skin. You only get a sunburn when you are not used to being out in the sun all the time. (or when harmfull rays get though a ozone hole which would not be the case if it were not for fossil fuels). Normal rays filtered by the ozone layer are okay.
History of the word "tar". hmm? Did the earth get cancer from all that tar which we now use for fuel?

If you are worried about tar then just use a filter that really works. Athough not provided by tobacco companies we do have such technology for concerned smokers.
