Also, there's the whole issue that the lungs are delicate tissue. There's something that makes me a bit concerned when thinking about breathing in alpha emitters into one of the only real region where they pose a significant threat (in terms of effective dose and alpha emitters). Your skin is meant to take a pretty good pummelling, and it's quite easy to cut out whatever shouldn't be there; not with lungs, and lungs are kind of important to the whole living thing.
