Almost all smokers (the ones I know, anyway) admit that smoking cigarettes or cigars cause damage to their lungs. Mine included as I’ve been a smoker since I was 17. Anyway, I digress.
Years ago, I believe between 1998 to 2000, I’ve read a Times Magazine article which showed a schedule of availability of human body parts which will be cloned in laboratories. The thing that struck me most was that it said replacement lungs will be available around 10 years from the time of that writing. Well, the story I attached below from Slashdot could be proving that true.
Since these are rats they’re talking about, how long do you think before they start with humans? How long do you think replacement lungs will become available for all the smokers out there? This might also just become the reason to turn the trend back into smoking instead of away.
Like my friend loves to tell me every time he regresses back into the habit, “quitters never win.” Share your thoughts, if you will. In the meantime, want a light? 
cremeglace writes “‘For the first time, an animal has drawn a breath with lungs cultivated in the lab.’ Although preliminary, the results might eventually lead to replacement lungs for patients. Researchers at Yale University have successfully applied a technique called decellularization that involves using detergent to remove all of the cells from an organ, leaving a scaffold consisting of the fibrous material between cells.”

Just finished watching Iron Man 2 and re-watched Iron Man 1. Woohoo!!! Iron Man rocks! Great movie! Lots of action and lots of Iron Man. Love Pepper Pots and Natalie Rushman/Natasha Romanoff.
