No, it is not reversible. But you can prevent it from progressing. Stopping smoking is ALWAYS a good idea.

Emphysema is an irreversible condition. You cannot repair the damage nor stop its progression, you can only slow it down.

No repair is possible, but you may live longer.

You can prevent it from worsening. It is permanent damage, so it can never reverse.
