I have a cousin who finishes lots of packs of cigaretts in a day. I'm not quite sure what is it with smoking that makes it really nice to do but from what i heard from other people is that they usually feel like smoking when they feels stressed.
He mentioned that he was quite scared the first time when he had an xray and saw that the effect of his frequent smoking was visible in the xray results. I think its because some of the smoke particles people inhale in their lungs get stuck until it becomes thick until such time that is becomes very noticable in xray results.
Im not quite sure if some people who do smoke frequently have noticed also the same thing if they had taken an xray for their lungs.
How about you? Do you also smoke?
Do you think it is a turn off seeing someone who smokes or it doesn't matter with at all?
Have you also experinced the same thing or do you also know someone who smokes who also had the same observation with their xray results?
Just got curious if some people have also observed the same thing.
Thanks for sharing guys.

Smoking is the leading cause of lung disease and the reduction of lung capacity. If your not really a smoker it cannot be seen in the x-ray. But if your and smoker and your lung is damage already it can be detected and be seen. Better not to smoke in order to have a healthy body. And to avoid lung cancer.

Many things can become visible in X-Ray results, and that is why doctors like to use them. I don't smoke, but when I had Pneumonia, that instantly showed up on the X-Ray.

I do not smoke, if I was single I would not date a smoker, my partner does not smoke. What you see in the x rays is damage that has been done to your lungs. People smoke for lots of reasons, it is both a physical addiction and a behavioral or psychological addiction. It calms people down, it speeds them up, it is very hard to quit, so do not ever start.
