Don’t Smoke!

I have to post this now as its one of the coolest things I’ve seen in quite awhile! During lunch today I walked down to Prešeren Square. There was a tent set up for a non-smoking campaign. I passed by from behind it and didn’t pay much attention. On my return walk I passed by the front and I’m so glad I did! They had actual lungs set up to demonstrate the effects of smoking! There was a healthy pair and a destroyed pair. I’ve seen this kind of campaign before in pictures but let me tell you that its totally different to see it in real life. The lungs were hooked up to a air pump that a demonstrator would step on from time to time to fill them with air. How cool!! I’ve always been intrigued by medical shows and watching surgeries, etc. but this was just so mesmerizing. I think I probably missed the point because I was more interested in looking at the healthy lung fill with air than checking out the disgusting black lung. When the black one filled with air it hardly inflated at all. Seriously though, just look at the photo again. If you’re a smoker and this doesn’t make you want to quit, I don’t know what will!
