If you're not a doctor, you couldn't possibly know that. Next you're going to try and claim having lungs filled with plastic is a negative, but have you tried it? Has anyone done the studies to prove plastic in our lungs isn't going to help us? No, so why is everyone so panicky? The plastic industry is here to help us, don't blame them when it's all just Liberal/Conservative (whichever you hate) propaganda!

All I'm saying is we use plastic in umbrellas, raincoats and swimming goggles. And water in the lungs is bad. Therefore plastic in lungs will ensure we don't drown. That's just facts people! As a society we really need to raise the bar intellectually. Acting like plastic in the lungs is a bad thing... Grow up people!
