Talk:Tar (tobacco residue)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] POV rant shifted from article
Inserted at [1]. Needs to be rewritten encyclopedically and NPOV with references (and it was posted from a library, so they should be there ;-), then it'd be damn fine stuff in the article - David Gerard 17:29, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, more wiki baloney. Nothing accumulates in your lungs. We have all seen the pink vs black lung photos and some have even been forced to attend meetings and nod agreeingly. It's all BS. Cancer turns lungs black - it is not the accumulation of tar, period. Cancer patients who have never smoked die with - quess - yup black lungs ( necrosis and alot of other junk you don't want to know about. By the way, nonsmokers usually die with pink lungs as do smokers - unless of course they get lung cancer. The majority of carcinogens in tobacco are the same ones in anything else we eat - growers in the USA use fertilizer that is high in radioactive material ( just bad luck - could be fixed but food would cost more and we might not get all we want - bitching decision ain't it) ( organically grown stuff probably is free of most radioactivity but I personally can't afford to buy enough calories from our hippy farmers to not starve.) PS Of course sucking radioactivity into your lungs ain't the smartest, but then again loading it into your mouth, gut, but ain't a high IQ pasttime either. Pick your poison.
