Aug. 1 is World Lung Cancer Day.

You can check out the effects of smoking by viewing a pair of lungs at the "BODIES" exhibit at the Luxor.

The exhibit has a powerful effect on kids who are able to see how the bad habit can have dire consequences.

There's also a bin for smokers who decide to dispose of their cigarettes after viewing the healthy and unhealthy paris of lungs.

Experts say that one cigarette can take 11 minutes off of your life.
