Overview

Highlight the terrible toll smoking can take on the lungs with this affordable, latex-lung comparison demonstration model. When the included bellows pump inflates the lungs, Gasping Gary’s clean, pink lung easily deflates, but his black lung, damaged by emphysema and cancer, struggles to expel air even before the next simulated breath. Designed to leave a lasting impression, Gasping Gary provides an unforgettable demonstration of how smoking can literally take your breath away. 16⅞" x 22⅜" x 10".


*This model contains latex.

This convenient lung comparison model is the perfect way to take an inside look. Although one of Gasping Gary’s lungs is smooth and pink—representing the healthy lungs of someone who is smoke-free and avoids secondhand smoke—Gasping Gary’s other lung, which has been destroyed by emphysema and cancer, sadly looks more like melted plastic than human tissue. These two latex lung models illustrate their differences in appearance and function with no mess and minimal setup. As the bellows pump inflates the lungs, the healthy lung deflates easily while the diseased lung struggles to expel its air before the next simulated breath. Viewers quickly get a sense of the smothering feeling sufferers of emphysema experience as they are unable to inhale fresh air because their lungs are overinflated.
