Does tobacco turn your lungs black?

No, tobacco does not turn your lungs black. While smoking tobacco can cause significant damage to the lungs and respiratory system, it does not directly cause the lungs to turn black. The black appearance often associated with smokers' lungs is primarily due to the accumulation of tar and other harmful substances from cigarette smoke. These substances can cause discoloration, inflammation, and scarring of the lung tissue, but they do not turn the lungs completely black.
