Does anyone have suggestions or kowledge on recovering from smoking?
I quit smoking a few weeks ago after 31/2 year of the junk! Is it possible to heal my lungs?
If not, how far back to normal can I get?
If my lungs can somewhat heal, how long will this take?
Thx for any input

I guarantee you that there will come a time when you wish you had quit, but it will be too late. Try putting a price on that.
Good way to put it.
I have lost two grandparents to smoking in the last 5 years...one just two months ago. The first suffered from very advanced emphysema where she could barely breath on her own and she refused to be placed on a bi-pap. Her suffering was intense as was that of the whole family who could only watch. My grandmother who died just months ago suffered from emphysema, pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure, pneumonia (white out), dried out kidneys, etc... Smoking certainly played a major role in her suffering but by the time these conditions manifested themselves it was far too late. Quit when you are still "healthy".
