Do they still use a tube to clean the tar out of the lungs?

It is called an aspirator and it is only used if it is needed to remove an obstruction in the bronchial tubes and upper airways at the top of the lungs. Tar really can;t be removed from the lings from smoking. If you quit smoking, the body naturally removes some of it abut not all of it. Several areas of the lungs are destroyed over the course of smoking in years so once that happens they won;t change but lung function almost immediately improves and within about 5 years you normal functions (albeit for the damaged lung tissue) will operate pretty much normally if not affected by disease.

I am having same symptoms since last 5 weeks. I quit smoking 70 days back and had been smoking a pack for 18 years now. I guess lungs are coming back to life, this metallic taste has to do someting with the lungs. Sometimes it feels as if it is taste of blood, sometimes of rust and metallic. I wish everything is fine. Just one thing smoking screws you up, i hope i can turn my life around.


Why might lungs look black?

There is a condition called "Black Lung" which is common in coal miners. When they are in the mines they breathe coal dust and over time, the coal makes their lungs black. An article in the 1980's stated that in California, if you live within a quarter mile of a major freeway for 20 years, your lungs will look like you were a one-pack-per-day smoker for 5 years....so smoking and breathing smog can also cause lungs to be black.


How long does it take for your lungs regenerate after you stop smoking?

No, but they will not pull so hard on the leash afterwards. It is believed that over a period of several years, a lot of the visible damage is repaired - so much of the tar, etc, in the lungs is eventually removed - but it depends on how long you have been smoking for, and how much other damage was done.

Is smoking bad for your lungs and health?

Not really, consider carbon dioxide it produced by you lungs, it does stay in your lungs for a short amount of time. Though, it's never good to inhale to much. After about 5 breaths you get light headed, but if you inhale a large amount continuosly for a long amount of time (days, maybe) it will kill you. It all depends on your lung capability.
