Nurse shares video to show unhealthy lungs of a smoker
New Delhi : A video, shared by a nurse, has gone viral on internet that shows a difference between lungs of a healthy person compared to that of smokers.
On April 24, a nurse, identified as Amanda Eller posted two videos on her Facebook account showing two sets of lungs - a healthy set of lungs from a person who never smoked cigarettes and a dire-looking set of lungs from someone who smoked one pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years.
As per video, lungs of a healthy man are seen red, while the one of smoker are black and bigger in size. In the video, Eller inflates the red lungs, they properly inflate and then seem to pause quite a bit before slowly deflating back to its original size. Eller then inflates the blackened lungs, which she describes as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cancerous lungs, and she goes on to describe how it is not as elastic as the healthy lungs, as it deflates rather fast compared to the healthy lungs.
The video has gone viral on the internet with most people sharing it. Watch the video below:
