Why do you still smoke?
Las manifestaciones ocurridas en los pulmones/ Manifestations occurring in the lungs/
The lungs were created with amazing reserve capacity.
According to a 1983 Report by the Royal College of Physicians of London, when most smokers inhale, part of the smoke goes into their bronchial passages and lungs, and virtually all the carbon monoxide, more than 90 percent of the nicotine and 70 percent of the toxic tars in the inhaled smoke are retained.
Medical science now has a more exact picture of what actually happens in the throat and lungs after being abundantly affected by tobacco smoke.
Often it is only after such large destruction has occurred that lung damage begins to manifest itself by shortness of breath under less and less exertion.
Many smokers think no damage is occurring to their lungs from their smoking.
Smokers, especially sedentary smokers, con irreversibly destroy as much as half of their lung capacity and not even feel anything is wrong.
The emphysema destroyed by elasticity / El enfisema destruido por la elasticidad
One doctor who frequently sees emphysema patients said, “they act like they just finished the four minute mile run every minute of their lives”.
In advanced emphysema, the victim can breathe in but has lost much natural elasticity of the lungs to force it out.
In advanced emphysema, the victim can breathe in but has lost much natural elasticity of the lungs to force it out.
In emphysema, lung tissue loses elasticity and begins to harden – millions of the lungs’ remarkable tiny alveoli are destroyed and many of those that remain can not adequately contract by themselves under exhalation to push out the carbon dioxide in them.
In retaining much of the breath, the lung cage of the emphysema victim enlarges.
Little equals tobacco smoke in causing absolute destruction and physical attack against human health.
Other serious diseases, such as oral, lung, kidney and bladder cancer, and coronary heart disease, are frequently associated with smoking.
Health authorities estimate between 80 percent and 90 percent of emphysema cases are directly caused by smoking – the rest are due to other environmental air pollution or health problems.
If you are a smoker, you too, can quit and reap a longer life, better health, more vitality and fewer medical expenses.
If you could see inside a smoker whose habit is well established, here’s the damage you might essentially see happening.
The oxygen deficit puts strain on the heart and circulatory system.
He or she can only force out a small amount of breath and only with intense and exhausting effort.
The afflicted person must breathe harder and faster day and night to obtain oxygen.
Many victims need oxygen tanks to survive.
It takes years for vital lung tissues to sufficiently break down before it is felt.
