Save Cigarette Bands for Free Time in an Iron Lung
I was recently reminded of a legend that I heard as a child.
It seemed if you saved the “red tear strip” on your cigarette wrappers you could redeem these later in life for time on a iron lung if you should ever get lung cancer or another health problem that would require you to use the machine. I ran across someone who has saved 1000′s of these red strips in case he needs them!

Cool story bro.
Very ironic
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.
Alright Bro.
NICE DUDE
What I wonder is if only the head sticks out of these machines, how do they go to the bathroom or get cleaned up?
yes only the head sticks out
I can remember as a child I knew this boy who was in an Iron Lung .If you could just see what I saw you would think twice about putting another ciggrett in your mouth.Just think spending the rest of your life in one.Not being able to get out and play ball or run.God Bless all thoes who had to go through it.
The lower end open up to take care of things like that
