Non-Smoker vs Smoker
Non-Smoker vs Smoker
Non-smokers will have healthy lungs because they haven't irritated their lungs by smoking. What smoking does to the lungs is it inflames and irritates them. Smoking can destroy lung tissue and your lungs. It will then decrease the amount of blood vessels and air space in the lungs. The smokers lungs turns black when the tar from the cigarette smoke builds up inside of the lungs. Over time the more a person smokes, the more their lungs will turn from the healthy pink color to the dark smokey black. When you smoke, tar will line the lungs and colors them black and damages the cilia (work to keep airways clear of mucus and dirt).
