Smoke (artery)

[fireninja529]

oat meal!

[lordoftheriffs79]

the problem among all smokers is that the only think that smoking has a 10% RISK of lung cancer, not certainity.... so they continue smoking.... whereas the risk of atheriosclerosis by smoking is almost 100%, if not 100%

[flyjackflay]

haha. I love all the smokers on this thread that that are trying to argue around this.

[szqsk8]

Doesn't that make you wanna suck on a nice, juicy ciggy? Yuck-O!

[jeobeahon]

smoke.

smoke.

...ARE YA SMOKIN YET!?

[tbursee]

A think a lot of this is just for shock value. Unless they got that from a corpse, it cant be a real representation of a 32 year old smoker.

amazing how small minded people are !!!

"stick to the wall" is a common term for arterial blockage. But what is the percentage sticked to the wall?? Some patients have over 90% blockage and it does look like this in the video.

You can even go read articles and search up images in google.

@MrQuadrupleBypass

i never said it was the whole artery moron. Can't you comprehend the material correctly??

Its possible to have that much junk in an atery. Do you even understand how circulatory system works and how plaque forms?? You probably dont.

[etmax1]

Hi there, if you look at the length of artery and think about squeezing it along to the end, it was the result of only 30% blockage. Smoking and consuming trans fats does do this. Not believing it doesn't stop it from happening. Take care of your body and it will take care of you

[KonstantinM92]

Erm, judging by your user name, one would THINK that you would know at least something about the cardiovascular system. Obviously, that is not true. The video clearly states that this is part on an aorta. The aorta is gigantic. It's wider around than the esophagus, as a matter of fact.

[KonstantinM92]

@MrQuadrupleBypass

Yes, I do know quite a bit about the cardiovascular system, seeing as I plan on becoming a cardiac surgeon. And let's approach this from a logical perspective. Smoking speeds up the metabolism, which released greater amounts of stored fat into the bloodstream. Fat that clings to the artery walls (this is why atherosclerosis develops). And seeing as the aorta is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, yes, that would be a great place for plaque.

[KonstantinM92]

@MrQuadrupleBypass

And besides which, compare the amount of fat in the aorta with the size of the aorta. It is VERY possible for that to happen.

And as a matter of fact, no, I don't believe that when you do drugs, your brain is scrambled on a frying pan. But have you ever heard of this wonderful term commonly used in literature called symbolism?

[441meatloaf]

@MrQuadrupleBypass

you are completely uninformed. Arteries can get 100% clogged. The conditions of athersclerosis depends on the patients.

Some patients can have complete blockage while other 3 main arteries supply the heart, it also depends where the blockage happens. You'd be surprised how much blockage can happen in an artery if you actually taken a course in medical science or nutrition.

[441meatloaf]

@MrQuadrupleBypass

its not fake its real. It not hard to find a blocked artery in hospitals.

Hospitals often show it to patients in diabetes and for teaching the public.

[441meatloaf]

@MrQuadrupleBypass

you certainly are moronic. Hospitals can find clogged arteries from dead people as long as the family consent the hospital for using it as teaching purposes for the public.

You are very uninformed.

[totallyfrozen]

@441meatloaf

No, actually the patient his/herself must have signed "organ donor" paperwork PRIOR to dying for their body to be used. Family members do not have the authority to authorize that.

Also, while this video is shocking and it's possible that this could have been an actual human aorta, giving the fact that this was a professionally produced TV commerical, it is highly likely that this was a fake "Hollywood" theater prop. Modern special effects and props are stunningly realistic.

[441meatloaf]

@totallyfrozen

Your words are unconvincing. You mentioned it could be real or fake but you assume its a fake already which defies your previous logic of possible realism.

I've actually seen a real fat aorta like this one in a hospital health class. And you can tell the difference between real or fake.

WAT THE FUK IT LOOKED LIKE COTTAGE CHEESE *gags*

[afferencia]

hI TILO; SMOKE GOES TO THE LUNGS AND UPLOADS THEIR NANO PARTICLES VERY SLOWLY IT WILL KILL YOU; HEROIN AND BRANCHES OF IT GOES IN BLOOD DIRECTLA IT MEANS IN THE BRAIN ALSO; THIS WILL KILL YOU QUICKLY;TO KILL A PERSON SLOWLY ;WORKS FOR BUISNESS BETTER:

[bull1309]

They are legal because of Big Money and Lobbyists.

[tillo2008]

here in canada, i hold a cigarette pack that has a picture and warning label on it that says "CIGARETTES ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE, Studies have shown that tobacco can be harder to quit than Heroin or Cocaine."

I've never done heroin or cocaine but if cigarettes are MORE addictive and unhealthy then why is it even legal?

[OverflowC]

There is something in this world called money that controls more than you think it does.

[toxicmoth]

it didnt show us who the aged 32 smoker was, or what their diet was like, they were probably a huge fat beast who was going to die of clogged arteries regardless of whether he/she smoked anyway.

[wirikuta14]

smoking kills, period. my mom didnt have the best eating habits, nor excercised a lot, and died of a heart attack three years after a stroke. the doctor words were "your mother died because she smoked."

[Rexx102]

i suggest people check out the 'Social determinants of Health" it says that things like income, available housing, community involvement affects our healths

[zenniz1992]

Tar damage your cilia.

[strek0655]

Okay stupid! Let me explain you the biggest flaw of your reasonng: You dont connect the dots... Yes we saw fat, and the fat can deposit because of the contents in a cigarette increase the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and subsequently promotes the atherogenic process.

Yes, eating alot of fatty food aint good, but smoking is increasing the risk for atherosclerosis minimum 200%

[Anonohio]

arguing on the internet with bad spelling and grammar will get you less far than just arguing on the internet in the first place.

[Dtram10]

@Anonohio lol @ less far, nice...

[sscaero15]

@strek0655 okay you are an fuckin asshole

that fatty wall far more than the normal that much could not allow the blood to pass throught it

dont apply ur fuckin science

[wirikuta14]

what a simplistic, ignorant comment.

[javedmahmood]

if it's so dengerous then why UN is not working to abolish this cigarate or their manufacturer?

This kills people!

[logan1776]

maybe the un should stay the hell out of sovereign nations buissiness and if you dont like smoking than dont do it

[totallyfrozen]

@javedmahmood Why do we need some government agency to protect us from OURSELVES? Personally, I don't want the UN or any other government agency trying to control everything and tell everybody what they can and cannot do. People just need to avoid smoking because it's bad for their health. You can think for yourself, why do you need the UN to abolish things for you?

[Stugio]

@totallyfrozen Because people are stupid animals who, when given the chance, will act without thinking and then expect help to undo their stupidity. Naturally prevention is the best cure, so that's why we need things abolished for us.

[whistonjfc]

eeeeeee

[reindhart]

that looks like butter or toothpaste xD

[forged0identity]

i don't think i'll use toothpaste peacfully anymore!

[Tkon321]
