Lung X-Rays Comparison: Before and after quitting stinkies

[Hooked]

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

@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.
