Nicotine addiction makes some people go so hard into denial it's unreal.
My favorite part is the idea that horrible damage suddenly happens in your 70s and 80s, as if decades of long term use can’t possibly add up to something.
That is exactly what the debunk found though.
Somewhere in the 70s they found a dude with complete liver and kidney failure who was in his 80s. He was a smoker.
After autopsy, they too HIS lung, one guy, took a pic, and paraded it around America saying "this is what all smoker's lungs look like."
It was a patent lie.
The body is fully capable of filtering out waste and pissing and shitting it out... until the excretory system fails. Then sepsis sets in and a person dies of sepsis.
God, the sheer unadulterated stupidity of you loud mouth prohibitionist asshats...
Sorry for your loss.
