after a long period of time smoking, a smokers lung becomes black do to the tar inside of their tobacco product. tar is like a thick, gross, stick black fluid that builds up in your lungs (only if u smoke or receive second hand smoke). it can never come out of your lungs, it just kinda settles there. :) hope i helped
