teflcat: A doctor pal of mine told me that when he was a student at the Middlesex hospital in London the anatomy prof. showed students two lungs: one from a life-long non-smoker who lived on the Commercial Road in east London, and one from a country-dwelling moderate smoker. The former was in a much worse state than the latter.
Ohh yeah typical smoker crap trying to convince yourself that its OK, we all used to do that, any plausible excuse just to carry on. We all know somebody that was fit as a fiddle, jogging everyday but just kicked the bucket all of a sudden but then fag ash Lill who puffs 60 a day but still going strong at 85.
This is a great extract from Allen Carrs book 'The easy Way to Stop Smoking'.
Some of those pipe tobaccos are absolutely foul. The aroma can be pleasant but, to start with, they are awful to smoke. I can remember that for about three months the tip of my tongue was as sore as a boil. A liquid brown goo collects in the bottom of the bowl of the pipe. Occasionally you unwittingly bring the bowl above the horizontal and before you realize it you have swallowed a mouthful of the filthy stuff. The result is usually to throw up immediately, no matter what company you are in. I always wonder why I didn’t ask myself why I was subjecting myself to this torture.
Smoking warps the mind.
