This posting is out of the norm for me but that video caught my eye.
This video is of an experiment that was conducted in Oita, Japan to demonstrate just how much tar your lungs collect when you smoke. 400 cigarettes (or 20 packs) are unwrapped and one by one are burned in a process called the electrolization method. The smoke from the cigarettes is drawn through a small bottle of water (the water acts much like your lungs) before the smoke is released into the air. Note the color of the water as more and more tar is collected in it. After the tar is extracted from the cigarettes into the water, the liquid is boiled in a process known as the vaporization method. Take a look at what is left behind.
To point things in perspective:

If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, 7.2 grams of tar like that shown in the video is deposited in your lungs every 1.25 months.

If you smoke 5 cigarettes a day, this same amount of tar is deposited every 2 months. If you smoke 2 cigarettes a day, this amount of tar is deposited in your lungs every 6.75 months. If you are exposed to second hand smoke on a regular basis, it could take a year or more to have 7.2 grams of tar deposited in your lungs.
No matter how long it takes, would you honestly want a glob of sticky, chemical-laden tar in your lungs?

Wow… That video definitely puts things in perspective. I plan on showing this video to my dad, sister, and other family members to really give them an idea of what smoking does to you internally.

Thank you Joe for providing this important video on your blog.

I greatly appreciate it, as will my family.

Thank you,
Michelle
