This item is recommended for use only with current smokers, as it would be viewed as a scare tactic and virtually ineffective as a deterrent for non-smokers. It is a swine lung, stained and preserved, with a palpable tumor and "emphysema" that may be attached to a bellows and "breathe." Youth are generally fascinated and disgusted by this item, whether we attach it to the bellows or simply allow them to feel the tumor. With it in use, it is easy to demonstrate the effects of emphysema.
It is an interesting item, and one that the audience won't soon forget. It is particularly appropriate in conjunction with other information about emphysema and lung cancer.
