We have lost a few people in my family due to smoking.
When you see what it does to your lungs it is pretty sobering.
This is a lung after 20 years of smoking a pack a day. The person developed COPD and died.
When you see the way it inflates and deflates compared to a normal lung, there is a marked difference—primarily on the deflation side.
The smoking lung instantly collapses after each breath, as the walls have been weakened. They can no longer keep air in the lungs.
The healthy lung slowly deflates after each breath, going out like a balloon with a tiny hole in it.
There are a lot of people reading this right now who still smoke. I’m not going to list out all the bad things smoking does. You already know.
But—I will, without shame, beg you: get out now, while you still can. There’s still time.
There is a point of no return you will eventually cross. And you will experience the slow, terrible feeling of drowning in your own body.
