From Sina Weibo:

@央视新闻 [CCTV]: GIFs: Look At These Smokers’ Lungs! To Extend Your Life: Give Up Smoking! — Do you know? Over 80% of lunch cancer cases are believed to be caused by long-term smoking or “second hand smoke”! In the images, the lung of someone who has smoked for 15 years is covered with large black spots, while the lung of a 30-year smoker is even more of a ghastly sight, where even the inside is covered with cancer causing substances. [吃惊] Reshare this! Quit smoking!

Comments from Sina Weibo:

小白以为猫很像猪:

I bet a kuai there will be stupid cunts who say they need to smoke a cigarette to calm down/steady their nerves. [呵呵]

瓿彘氘:

Looking at these scared me to death, I need to a cigarette to calm myself.

太湖食人鱼:

Given that smoking harms the country, why do we still allow the existence of tobacco companies? Isn’t this just deceiving oneself?

绿凸子:

Scared me to death, must quickly smoke a cigarette to calm down.

Scorpio轉轉:

Why bother trying to persuade people? Those who want to quit will have quit, and those who don’t want to will get lung cancer and still not quit…

陈大喵CHENZHI:

I recommend all domestic tobacco product packaging have these images printed on them. [喵喵]

张小猫要开森哦:

Although these images are very uncomfortable…I still ask that smokers please be mindful of their second-hand smoke! To say something people don’t want to hear, it’s as if you’re slowly killing yourself but at the same time taking others with you~~

Lan家文:

Quick, must smoke a cigarette to steady myself.

有点小坏的彭大帅:

Scary, too frightening. Although I don’t smoke, I sure have had plenty of second-hand smoke… I don’t smoke, but I can’t stop others from smoking~~ Follow original literature, welcome exchanges, thank you.

你看起来很好听:

Scared me to death, I’m never going to use Weibo ever again.

Chee-__-:

It’s like black bugs. Extremely gross/nauseating.

欧_伟:

If drugs can be prohibited, why doesn’t the government prohibit tobacco? 40% of the tax government’s revenue every year comes from tobacco. Without tobacco, would the country/government die?

CCTV is not always CCAV. Support our translations by becoming a patron. Thank you.
