I'm pretty sure it was if you smoked 20+ cigarettes a day (the average no. for a smoker) , after one year you would be left with 1.5 pounds of tar in your lungs
just looking at the pictures of smokers lungs and hearing what it can do to you would be enough to stop anyone smoking! I don't know why anyone would want to do that to themselves?!
The pictures of 'smokers' lungs' are usually of the DISEASED lungs of PIGS or even lungs of pigs soaked in chemicals. Coloration of the lungs is caused by disease and the undiseased lungs of a smoker and non-smoker look exactly the same.
By the above estimate, a lifetime smoker for fifty years would be carrying 75 pounds of tar in their lungs!!! The amount of tar produced by a typical cigarette is 7 milligrams. The average smoker smokes around 100 cigarettes a week so, in a year, this would add up to around 35 grams or just over an ounce. Some of the tar is exhaled and the macrophages and mucus in the lungs break down all but minute traces of what remains.

What happens to 47 year old smoking meth for 25 years everyday?
basicly i would say at 50 he or she will be 70 It's the lungs and the teeth that you'll lose first The meth would likely not even work that well anymore, he would likely have severe psychosis, he would appear much older than 47, and he would likely have severely damaged lungs.
