Quitting smoking these days is a no brainer. But have you considered the effects on your lungs from quitting.
I'm sure you have seen the gory images of the blackened lungs of a smoker after death. You might imagine that this is because the person had died. But the fact is when a smoker is alive their lungs are already blackened.
Imagine this: you light up a cigarette and draw deeply. The toxin filled smoke glides down your throat and into your lungs. This smoke is grey. The smoke meets the surface of your lungs and enters the tiny structures that allow the exchange of air into your blood stream. Your lungs filled with smoke, but only 10% of that smoke will be released back into the air, the rest will remain within your body!
Have you ever seen a house in which there had been a fire. The walls and ceilings are blackened. It is almost impossible to clean up the smoke staining. Specialised cleaners have to be used to clean up.
Your body doesn't have access to these special cleaners. You lungs become progressively clogged and blackened.
After a time your body tries to expel this toxic mess by producing phlegm and causing you to cough. But no matter how bad your cough gets, and how much phlegm gets you can never get rid of the cigarette toxin while you continue to smoke.
So the next time you light up a cigarette just stop and think about what is happening to the smoke every time you take a drag of toxic smoke. We can help you to not only quit smoking but to rehabilitate your lungs.
