the problem is, no one smokes like that: sucking an entire cigarette down in less than two minutes. You notice those two cartons were sucked in a total of less than four hours. I'm not arguing that that shiite doesn't get into people's lungs but as a convincement, it doesn't work well when the first thing you think about is how "lungs don't work like that"

What does it matter if that's how lungs work or not? It all still holds true.

I hate being a second hand smoker because I have a tracheostomy.

This only works if you don't exhale any smoke. If lungs worked like this demo then there would be no second hand smoke to worry about.

Even if you only retain half the tar from each inhalation and then exhale the rest into the environment (a generous assumption), would any of you still want half of that blob of tar crushed into a fine powder and then sprinkled into your lungs? I don't think so. And I speak as an ex-smoker, mind you. I smoked for 15 years before I finally quit. I also put on the weight afterwards just like so many other quitters do, but it's still worth it to be able to wake up in the morning not coughing and having a cigarette hangover. Smokers know what I mean by that.
