Lungs Of Man Who Smoked A Pack Of Cigarettes Every Day For 30 Years?
Claim:A video authentically depicts the lungs of a 52-year-old man who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years.
What's TrueThe lungs belonged to a 52-year-old brain dead person who had indeed smoked for nearly 30 years. However ...
What's FalseThere's no evidence the person specifically smoked a pack a day, nor did the doctor whose team performed the operation confirm the person was male.
On June 26, 2024, X account @HowThingsWork_ posted a video claiming to depict the lungs of a 52-year-old man who had smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years. The post received more than 29.9 million views and 87,000 likes, as of this writing.
The water stamp on the post credited an account on Chinese social media site Weibo that belongs to Dr. Chen Jingyu, director of Jiangsu Lung Transplant Center at the Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical Hospital.
We found the original post on Weibo, which Jingyu first published on Nov. 14, 2019.
(Weibo user @陈静瑜肺腑之言)
The caption, translated by Google Translate, is as follows:
#Stop SmokingThe team obtained a donated lung from a brain-dead ... Donor. The donor was 52 years old and had smoked for nearly 30 years. After the acquisition, it was observed that the donor lung had mild emphysema, lung bullae, and tuberculosis calcification in the pneumoconiosis area. The lungs of many smokers in our country are similar. The team decided to give up using this donor lung for transplantation. This means that after the brain death of a smoker, even if you want to donate a lung, there will be no recipient. After seeing this lung, you still have the courage to smoke?
Some X users expressed doubt that a human's lungs could be that large. "Lungs of a what? Elephant? Come on," commented one user.
According to the American Lung Association, the maximum amount of air an average adult male's lungs can hold is about six liters (approximately three large soda bottles). An average adult human lung weighs about 2.2 pounds and is a little longer than 9 inches when breathing normally, and about 10.5 inches when lungs are completely expanded, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
In sum, because we were able to find the original post by Jingyu – who confirmed that the donor of the lungs was 52 years old and had been smoking for 30 years – we rate this claim as "Mostly True." Contrary to several viral X posts, Jingyu did not confirm that the lungs belonged to someone who specifically smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, nor did he confirm that the donor was a male.

The Ten Hottest Smoking OnlyFans Pages
If you find it sexy to watch girls and guys smoke cigarettes, cigars, or blunts, you are not alone. Maybe it's because smoking has an association with danger and rebellion, or because the idea that smokers are "cool" has been part of pop culture for decades with advertisers linking smoking and sex since the 1880s, but smoking fetishes have been around as long as the cigarette has been publicly available.
Beautiful models sucking in on a cig and blowing out smoke can look beautiful, especially if they are visually receiving pleasure from the dopamine hit they get from taking a drag. In movies, smoking and sex are often linked, and cigarettes are also a key part of the stereotypical bad boy/ bad girl trope, along with leather jackets (which are also sexy!)
There are hundreds of smoking OnlyFans accounts that cater to this exact fetish, and we have had no trouble finding ten of the best smoking Only Fans pages of 2023 for you to follow. Please read on to see the hottest smokers and tokers out there today.

FAQ About Smoking OnlyFans Do People Smoke for Pleasure?
Yes, many people find smoking pleasurable, because the nicotine found in tobacco causes the brain to release adrenaline, which can feel like a rush. It can make you feel more awake and energetic. And when you have an addiction to smoking, it also relieves any of the annoying withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
The ritual of smoking is also pleasurable to many, from the lighting up to the first inhale, and the break it gives you from the workday, where you can go outside, get away from it all, and have a quick drag.
What Does Smoking Do to Your Body?Cigarettes used to be sold as a weight loss product, and smokers are often portrayed as more sexually open and attractive than non-smokers in our media and advertisements, but the truth is that smoking is not good for your long-term health. We know about the health risks it can cause like addiction, cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis, eye diseases, emphysema and other lung issues, and others.
Even if you are not worried about long-term health issues like these and are smoking as a way to be edgy or attractive, you should note that it also affects your appearance. It makes your face sag and wrinkle, causes your teeth to yellow, gives you bad breath, decreases your energy, makes your skin look sallow and unhealthy, and more. It is not recommended to start smoking.
Why is Smoking Sexy?There are many combined cultural reasons why we find smoking sexy. The first reason is successful marketing. Smoking has been advertised using sex since cigarettes were first marketed in the 1800s, with trading cards of models tucked into the packaging.
Second, smoking is a rebellious act. People who smoke do so in the face of health risk and societal pressure, giving off a care-free and bad-ass vibe. Think about it, how many cool guys and rebel girls are smoking in the bathroom or next to their car in the movies?
The third reason smoking is sexy is that smoking can give a person a hit of pleasure and relief, especially once they develop an addiction. You can see how good it feels on their face as they take a drag, which can be equated to other forms of pleasure.
Finally, it has become tied with sexuality in our popular culture. There are hundreds of sex scenes that end with a person deeply dragging on a smoke. Studies have shown that men and women who smoke are viewed as being more sexually open and adventurous than non-smokers. All of these reasons combined are why Only Fans smoking videos and photos get thousands of likes every day. People think it's hot!
When Did Smoking After Sex Become a Thing?The movie trope featuring people smoking after having sex was popularized in the 1767 film The Graduate and is in part due to a very successful advertising campaign designed to link sex to cigarettes starting in the 1800s. Smoking evolved into a symbol of relaxation, and a type of nightcap after a lusty sexual escapade. It began to feel glamorous and has continued to grow in popularity to this day. In the 1980s, over 400K smokers were asked about their smoking habits and found out that over half of the people who responded enjoyed a cigarette after sex, and today people equate it to an additional hit of pleasure after a fun romp in the sack.
Can You Smoke in Public in the US?It completely depends on where you are in the US. Americans in some regions have zero regulations about smoking. Some ban smoking in some places like restaurants, but not others, and some have bans everywhere, even outdoor areas near doorways. In most places, you cannot smoke in an area where somebody is working, because it causes a hazard to their health which would go against workplace safety guidelines. If you are unsure when traveling in the US, you can always ask somebody or look up the specific state online.
ConclusionWe don't know about you, but we need a cigarette after seeing all those "smoking" hot OnlyFans pages. Maybe it's the carefree and youthful attitude they convey, or the sensuality of breathing smoke into their lungs, but these creators certainly have something special that has left us wanting to watch more. They don't care what society says, they do what they want, especially when it brings them pleasure, and to us, that is hot as hell. We hope you have enjoyed our top ten OnlyFans smoking pages of 2023 and have found some new sultry smokers to follow.

Teen With Collapsed Lung Thought Vaping Equivalent Of 400 Cigarettes A Week Was 'harmless'
Kyla Blight, who burst a hole in her lung after vaping so much, has warned other young people "it's not worth it" - after undergoing a five-hour operation in hospital

GMB: Teenager bursts hole in lung after vaping addiction
A teenager with a collapsed lung thought vaping the equivalent of 400 cigarettes a week was "harmless".
Kyla Blight, 17, has warned other young people "it is not worth it" after bursting a hole in her lung, caused by vaping so frequently over a two-year period. She would get through an entire 4,000 puff vape a week — a device which should last three weeks and contains the nicotine equivalent of 400 cigarettes.
Kyla needed a five-hour operation to save her life after collapsing and turning "blue" while sleeping over at a a friend's house last month. Speaking today, the teenager said: "I don't think they should do it to themselves, it's not worth it really. It's fun and people think it's cool, but it's not worth it at all."
Medics found a small air blister, known as a pulmonary bleb, developed on the youngster's lung last year. It is thought her excessive vaping caused this to burst, leading to her lung collapsing. It burst in May this year.
After her surgery, Kyla, from Egremont, Cumbria, had to spend a two further weeks in hospital before she could return home. She now says the ordeal has frightened her off disposable vapes for the rest of her life.

Kennedy News & Media) The 17-year-old girl would get through an entire 4,000 puff vape a week (Image:
Kennedy News & Media)Kyla appeared on Good Morning Britain on ITV today and told Susanna Reid and Ed Balls that, although she was under 18 and unable to legally buy vapes from a shop, she would purchase them from other people. She admitted to vaping "everywhere" she went and said she reached for her vape first thing every morning.
Her dad, Mark Blight, 61, joined her on the programme, on which he urged young people to throw away their vapes. The full-time carer said: "I've been to hell and back with Kyla over the last couple of weeks. I just put it down to vaping, they can't put it down to anything else but vaping that's caused this.
"She was at a friend's house and I got a phone call at 4am that she had collapsed and gone blue. I went round for her. We took her down to the hospital. Her lung collapsed this time due to the hole. They put a drain in her. She's a little girl who doesn't like needles. She screamed. She was close to having a cardiac arrest."
Kyla, from Cumbria, believed the habit to be 'harmless' (Image:
ITV)Mr Blight admitted he vaped for almost 13 years because it helped him quit smoking. The previous heavy smoker has now quit vaping as well after his daughter's health scare. Dr Hilary Jones told GMB viewers: "For Mark who was a previous smoker, he was better off vaping. For Kyla it's the last thing she needed, kids who don't smoke shouldn't vape. They do contain toxins, many of which have been identified some of which are pretty nasty.
"Nicotine is addictive. No they don't give you carbon monoxide and they don't give you tar, but they give you lots of other things.. 4,000 puffs a week is a lot of liquid going into the lungs and we just don't know yet what the long term risks are."
