What is the average lung capacity in cups ?

Question

if a person has 16 cups of tar in thier stomach(from smoking)....how much is there left to breath with ?

Answer 1

Total lung capacity (the amount that can be held in there when you take a deep breath) is about 6 liters, or 25 1/3 cups.

Smokers do not have tar in their stomachs; the tar settles in the lung tissue.  It also travels to the heart, where it is distributed throughout other tissues in the body.
