Lung X-Rays Comparison: Before and after quitting stinkies

26 Sept. 2019

This was posted by someone on FB and my summary is as follows.

Started smoking at the age of 11.
Diagnosed with beginning stage of COPD, as a young adult.
Eventually started vaping after trying other methods of quitting.
Now 4 years stinkie-free.


Left: Before quitting Right: 4 years after quitting and starting vaping

Great post! I wish I could read those X-rays though

@Trishan Gounden Just compare the fuzziness around the lungs. The X-Ray on the right, after 4 years of vaping, is less fuzzy than it was when he was smoking (X-Ray on the left).

Ok Im a believer, think I can read the patient's name on the xrays, something like Eliot Moyo

You know I saw something similar on my x-ray scans when I had to have an x-ray of my stomach area (due to UK visa requirements for TB screening) and I saw how clear my lungs were. It was rather profound knowing that I had done the right thing in quitting the stinkies.
