The main cause of our cough is the stimulation of the throat or lungs. It doesn’t mean that it is not good, sometimes

is just our body reacts to unknown conditions.

01. Self-healing of throat, after stop smoking.

There is a "brush" cilia in the human lungs that helps clean the dust and harmful substances that enter into our trachea, leaving the alveoli clean and sterile condition,

maintain optimal state. However, when smoking traditional cigarettes continuously, variety of harmful substances are inhaled, and the cilia will "strike" and will been

killed slowly. Without a barrier protection, our lungs will accumulate harmful substances in continually, and causes paralysis of our lungs.
