Smoking & Your Lungs

In honor of lung cancer awareness, take a stand/commit to protect yourselves from the health effects of tobacco use.

Garrett Harding, outreach coordinator at Huntsman Cancer Institute, shows a demonstration of the effect of smoking on your lungs. In the video the inflatable pig lungs simulate the lungs of a person who has been exposed to normal amounts of air pollutants and has smoked a pack of cigarettes per day for about 20 years.
