WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: Lungs had turned black, footage showed
Doctors from Wuxi People's Hospital in Jiangsu, China, surgically removed them
Video viewed more than 25million times and dubbed 'best anti-smoking ad ever'

Shocking footage shows the tar-blackened lungs of a chain smoker who was hooked to the killer habit for 30 years.

Instead of being a healthy pink, they were charcoal in colour and extremely inflamed from decades of tobacco residue clogging them up.

Doctors from the Wuxi People's Hospital in Jiangsu, China, extracted the organs after the 52-year-old man, who had multiple lung diseases, died.

The video, recorded by the surgeons, has been viewed more than 25million times on social media, with users dubbing it the 'best anti-smoking ad ever'.

It was uploaded by the hospital with the caption: 'Do you still have the courage to smoke?'




Medics show off tar-blackened lungs after removing them from a 52-year-old man who had been a chain smoker for 30 years

The patient had signed up to donate his organs after death, but medics quickly realised they would not be able to use them.

Dr Chen, a lung transplant surgeon and also vice president of the facility, led the operation.

He said: 'The patient didn't undergo a CT scan before his death. He was declared brain dead, and his lungs were donated shortly after that.
'Initial oxygenation index tests were okay, but when we harvested the organs, we realised we wouldn't be able to use them.

'We Chinese love smoking. It would be impractical to say that we wouldn't accept the lungs of all smokers, but there are strict standards.

'[We would accept] lungs from people under 60 years of age who have only recently died, minor infections in the lungs and relatively clean X-rays are also acceptable. If the above conditions are met, we would consider transplanting the lungs.'





Professor Peter Openshaw, of the National Heart and Lung Institute, said the patient had been suffering from lung pulmonary emphysema.

It causes the organs to become severely inflamed and expand, and makes sufferers short of breath.

He said that medics may have also inflated the lungs with air or fluid prior to harvesting them for donation.

This makes them look much larger than the normal deflated lung postmortem, he explained.

Dr Chen uploaded the clip to social media with the hashtag 'jieyan' - Mandarin for 'quit smoking'.

He wrote: 'Many smokers in this country have lungs which look like this.

'Our team decided to reject these lungs for transplant. If you're a heavy smoker, your lungs may not be accepted even if you choose to donate them after death.

'Look at these lungs - do you still have the courage to smoke?'

According to a 2018 study by China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 350million adults (27 per cent) are smokers.

In England, One in seven adults now smoke tobacco – around 5.9million people, down from 7.7million in 2011, when the figure was closer to one in five.

Smoking is the biggest avoidable cause of cancer and is known to produce chemicals which cause at least 15 different forms of the disease.

Evidence shows it causes around 70 per cent of all cases of lung cancer, which has the highest death count of any form of cancer.

People are drawn to smoking because nicotine can make them feel good, but it's easy to become addicted and very difficult to quit once smoking becomes a habit.

Smoking kills 1.2million people every year and people who do it are twice as likely to have a heart attack and up to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer.

Smoking kills. Why do people indulge in self-destruct? Say no to smoking.

Smoking kills. Why do people indulge in self distraught? Say no to smoking.

You must have lived long enough to know that life itself is self destructive.

Dying from cigarette related death is very painful and a sad spectacle for the loved ones to watch.

Sometimes I feel myself choking up and becoming short of breath from just watching them struggle to breathe.
Last last they end up intubated on the ventilator and die within moments of being extubated (lingo).

There are many way to die but don’t let it be COPD. It’s painful

as for smoking I leave it for chinese. My Oga for office want to use smoke kill me. Funny enough I don't smoke but I get high everyday from his smoke.

The only way to stop smoking is just to stop it.
I didn't know this untill 6 years ago.
And now I am free.

I have a brother who does this - he's a chain smoker. He's a good friend of mine too.

My heart bleeds whenever I see stuff like this. I really think about him.
