[quote] 285450 Dang........if it was me under the knife and the surgeon touched my lungs...they would have crumpled into one big pile of ashes! lol I wonder just how long our lungs stay black? [/quote] I have often wondered that. Does anyone know if they ever lose their blackness after quitting?

I wonder if she hadn't been a smoker, would she have been needing the bypass surgery?

This is from the Women's Cancer Network site: Q: Can the damage from smoking be undone? A: Eventually, the body is able to clean the lungs after a person stops smoking. Doctors say it can take many years for a smoker�s lungs to return to normal after they quit smoking. The longer the person smoked, the longer it will take for their lungs to get healthy. But, the lungs do begin to return to their natural pink shortly after smoking is stopped. The damage to the heart also gets better over time. Generally, ten years after a person stops smoking, the risk is 1/3 lower than if the person had continued smoking. Hope it helps.....

DD, They are not a pretty site are they. I have to admit, when I started Nursing school, this was my turning point to quit smoking! Learning about our lungs and health teaching people who were dying of smoking related diseases, I thought "why am I smoking"? Great thread! Melanie _____________________ The SSC Support Team
