I mean are they gonna be as normal as before I started smoking or do I need to use any drugs to clear them up?
Thanks for answeringFirstly you are heading in the right direction in considering quitting smoking, congratulations, it-s not easy to quit, but not that hard either. As far as your lungs, it all depends on how much damage you have already done, some air sac damage cannot be repaired (see emphysema) But the moment you stop smoking certain things like the amount of cancer causing chemicals in your system will be greatly reduced. For more free info on the benefits of quitting, click on the link belowyour lungs will clear up some but they will never be back to the way the was before you started smoking.. there is a great pill out there now you can get that really does work and helps you quit smoking. its call chantix it blocks the craving for cigerettes. you smoke while on them. some have quit as quick as 2 weeks and others as late as 2 or 3 months. talk to your dr about it. good luckWell I used to smoke so I know this one. It takes twice as long for your body to clean your lungs for every year you smoked. So if you smoked for 10 years it will take 20 years for your lungs to clean out. Then there might be some permanant damage to your lungs such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Then there is cancer too. Better quit sooner then later. I-m glad I did. I-m going on 7 years smoke free!your lugs will clear that tar out and function normally again my grandma has been a smoker for too long and stopped smoking and her lungs are now normal.No, you do not need any drugs. The health of your lungs will improve within 1 day of quitting and progress from there. They will never be quite what they were before you started but they will be a great deal better than if you continue smoking. Congratulations on your decision and good luck. I done it, it wasn-t easy, but I-m happy now.
