I find that Morgan Spurlock’s series 30 Days to be really fascinating and a definate eye opener. In the first of this series, Mogan Spurlock worked as a coal miner for 30 days to see if you would develop black lung. If you have never heard of black lung before, you should know that it’s a condition that affects coal miners. It would seem that America still has coal mines unlike Britain who has Margaret Thatcher to blame for that (!).

You have a much more likely chance of developing black lung if you inhale coal dust over a period of many years which is why people tend to suffer from it over the age of 50. As the name suggests, black lung really does turn the lungs black which is certainly not the way they should be. Healthy lungs are pink.

Luckily because of laws brought in a number of years ago, black lung is much less likely because the coal dust levels have been reduced from 8.0 mg. per cubic meter to only 2.0. However lung cancer is still possible. Many of those who have contracted black lung have taken their employer to court in order to claim damages. As a result there are lawyers who specialize in black lung.

Of course, there are people who damage to their lungs through smoking which is a terrible thing.  They know what they are doing yet they start smoking or at least continue.  I don’t know whay people would ever consider doing such a silly hting but if you want methods to stop smoking then you should do reseach on the subject.
