I will go to my grave wondering why people are so enamored with the process of taking what is essentially inhaling the burning fumes from a poisonous weed. We need new medical technologies to help smokers quit and further restrictions on the sale of cigarrettes.

I wonder what the lungs of people who vape look like? I saw that recently a teenager underwent a lung transplant because the damage was so severe. They basically said it aged his lungs by 70 years.

I'm glad I'm 7 months smoke free 😬

My partner died of non-small cell lung cancer last week. He was 54 years old. Life had just come good for us after years of struggle building our business. We had more time for our hobbies and spent all our time together, both working and relaxing. Even after 10 years together my tummy always did a girlish flip every time he walked in the front door. Now nobody walks in that door. Our business is finished, our staff all laid off. No more his winning smile or mischievous wink. He fought to the bitter end, not ready to leave me behind. So much left undone. If you smoke, I beg you on behalf of all that love you, make your next cigarette your last.

I used to put images like that up around the house to deter the kids from smoking. It didn't help! Incidentally, don't believe the myth that your lungs fix themselves after a certain amount of time. My mother smoked very lightly and occasionally for about six years. She gave up completely in 1971. Today she has scarring in the lobes of her lungs, mild COPD and issues with asthma. The damage is often permanent. I hope to live long enough too see the entire industry brought to its knees and eradicated.

I smoked for too many years but finally managed to quit. Four years later, I was diagnosed with cancer (no, not lung cancer) and the first question each and every doctor asked me was "Do you smoke?". Their relief when I answered that I quit four years earlier was palpable. That will soon be sixteen years ago! Yay!

Looking at this picture - but - this is the outside what about the INSIDE of those lungs ??

lots of people smoke because they're having a terrible life ( probably ) and smoking makes them feel better ( for a short while ). But after they smoke, it's REALLY hard to stop.

Holy Spirit. How did I get here.

In Norway we have laser therapy for smokers. It is harmless and painless and makes the part of your brain that want to smoke, not crave for it, I think for about 6months, so you have the chance to stopp, and also you can take one more round after that period of time, but I think then you should stay away from other smokers, during this time, untill you are cured at least. My family are heavy smokers but too stubborn to try this. Also they are extremly sick becouse of smoking, and made me and kids in the family get astma and allergies, they smoke while pregnant. Smoking is 100% evil, becouse you ruine others health too. At least people who really want this drug, they should chew it like people from India.

Despite all recommendations, I am convinced that the best vape brand of all times is SMOK. They always provide products with an exact high quality.

I knew I needed a good incentive to stop. And yes, health should have been enough but it wasn't. Even money should have been enough. I found my incentive in a Bengal kitten lol! I told my partner I'd stop smoking if we got the kitten I fell in love with him and he agreed! We have the kitten, I'm using my vape and I'm down to 4 cigarettes a day. I've just gradually went down and I'm at the stage where I'm not really enjoying a cigarette anymore, which I'm happy about, it will make it easier to stop with them completely! I'm just worried about the stuff you hear about the vaping?

Wow... I just read through the article and got an add about getting an e cig

Why did they think they could use the lungs of someone who died of "multiple lung diseases" anyway?

My moms brothers are addicted.. and it's really bad. They can go through 2 packs of cigarettes a day and they now have chronic cough. They've really tried to stop, but its difficult after 40+ years. Their sons (my cousins) are idiots and learned nothing from their dads mistakes and vape / juul, despite everyone telling them not to. Their argument? "At least Im not smoking actual cigarettes"

Idk why people pay lots of $$ to slowly kill themselves? Smoking anyting is bad for the body...just ask a fireman.

This is not true for everyone. I am 54 years old and been smoking since I was 11 years old and my lungs are just fine. My doctor listens to my chest and tells me that I do not sound like a smoker. I have also had my lungs looked at and they are just fine.

I smoke cannabis only. Hope my lungs can handle it.... if not, oh well.

Let people do whatever they want. Life is hard enough. They know the risks, they've seen the results they're adults.

I want to beat every f***** smoker I see in front of me. In fact, I've made it once.
