Is There Really Lung Recovery After Smoking?

If you are reading this article you are probably trying to quit smoking or help a loved one quit smoking. You are probably wondering if the lungs can actually recover after years of smoking. The answer to that question is yes! There is lung recovery after smoking but it doesn't happen over night, in fact, it can take months and for complete healing it can take years. It has been discovered through research that it can take as much as 9 to 12 months to see "significant recovery" of the lungs once you have totally quit smoking. Don't let that discourage you, you have probably been smoking for years and the fact that improvement can happen in months should be reason for optimism. Once you have stayed off of cigarettes for 10 years you slash your chances of acquiring lung cancer in half. After 15 years of total abstinence you have no greater chance of getting lung cancer than a person who has never smoked. That is good news and it is a good reason to do everything in your power to quit smoking today!

How To Remove Tar From Lungs

It has been reported that there are over 4000 chemicals in a cigarette! Let me mention a few cigarette chemicals: benzene, carbon monoxide, acetone (paint remover), formaldehyde (embalming substance), ammonia (floor finish remover), nicotene and tar! The tar is the substance that causes some of the biggest problems for your lungs. The lungs have many amazing components that were part of our Maker's design for our health and happiness. The first component that I want to call your attention to is the "cilia". Cilia are little hair like branches that line the upper respiratory tract and they are constantly in a "sweeping motion" removing mucuous and other harmful particles from your lungs and bronchi. Tar from smoking layers these cilia in a thick goo which prevents the cilia from doing their critical job. The second component of the lungs that suffer when you smoke are the "alveoli". Alveoli are the small air sacs in the lungs where oxygen actually is transferred from the lungs to the blood stream. The tar from cigarettes actually cause the alveoli membranes to become brittle and lose their elasticity. Once the elasticity is gone from the alveoli your ability to get adequate oxygen into your blood is greatly compromised. So, how to you remove tar from your lungs? You quit smoking, not reduce smoking, quit smoking altogether! Once you quit smoking you will probably notice a bad cough developing in a few days or weeks. Don't worry, the cough is a good sign! Your new cough will probably continue for a considerable time but it will be the coughing that will start to remove the tar ladened mucuous from the lungs. Tar removal from the lungs happens when you quit smoking and start coughing.

How To Keep Your Lungs Clear

It's possible that you have already quit smoking but you are concerned about how to keep your lungs clear. The answer to that question is simple but it is not easy. You must continue to stay smoke free! Many people have quit smoking but fewer have stayed smoke free. Remember, the longer you stay smoke free the better your health will become and the better you will feel. So how do you stay off of cigarettes? First, you may need to Change your friends If you hang out with folks who smoke like chimneys than maybe you should avoid hanging out with them and find some smoke free companions. In many ways staying smole free is like staying sober! Second, you may need to Change your mind It might be time to listen to some experts or try hypnosis or NLP, do what it takes to keep your lungs clear. Third, you may need to Change your perspective Every time you feel the urge to smoke take that money you would have spent on a pack or carton of cigarettes and put it in a piggy bank and spend that money at the end of the year on a vacation or a new flat screen television. When you see how much money you were blowing on that nasty habit it will change your perspective. Be creative but do what is necessary to remain smoke free and on a continual path to recovery and full health!

Note: 4:20 the length of this video is completely a coincidence, it is not representing the 420 (20th of April the Weed day ), later i found out that there is a funny coincidence about the length of this video, it insists on stop smoking and ends up at 4-20, (April 20th Weed day), it is funny cause i realized this 3 years later after the date of the experiment :) (Samimy) Note From The Producer and Creator of this project: During running this experiment, the speed and air pressure of the machine was very high and strong, made it difficult to stop and catch some of the filters before burning a cigarette up to the end. Some filters burned down and sucked down into the water inside the bottle, what you see at the end of the video, the black substance, is tar mixed with the ashes of burned filters, that is what made it hard and look dry after boiling.... The pure tar is sticky and usually remains softer than what you saw in this video. (Samimy) *There is a common misconception that the tar in cigarettes is equivalent to the tar used on roads. As a result of this, cigarette companies in the United States, when prompted to give tar/nicotine ratings for cigarettes, usually use "tar", in quotation marks, to indicate that it is not the road surface component. Tar is occasionally referred to as an acronym for (Total Aerosol Residue), a backronym coined in the mid-1960s. The European Union currently limits the tar yield of cigarettes to 10 mg. Tar when in the lungs coats the cilia causing them to stop working and eventually die, causing such conditions as lung cancer as the toxic particles in tobacco smoke are no longer trapped by the cilia but enter the alveoli directly. my channel and other projects: http://www.youtube.com/SAMIMYS How to extract tar from 400 cigarettes. tar extraction system.
