A North Carolina-based nurse Amanda Eller recently posted a couple of videos on Facebook that show the difference between healthy lungs and a black-coloured cancer-ridden lung.
It is especially relevant in India, given latest reports suggesting 6.25 lakh children smoke cigarettes daily in India, according to the Tobacco Atlas report.
Cancerous, 1 pack per day for 20 years lungs 😳 versus heathy lungs. Still wanna smoke?

The videos show how the two lungs inflate and deflate differently. While the cancerous lungs have lost their elasticity, the healthy lungs are able to regain shape fairly easily after exhalation.
