i smoked for 2 years and finally quited it...?

Question

i just wanna know that damages that caused by smoking to my lung gonna be ok...i mean will every thing be ok as it was in 2 years ago?

Answer 1

A 50 year study of over thirty thousand British physicians showed that nonsmokers lived about 10 more years than the smokers

For those born between 1920 and 1929 the standardized mortality rate between the ages of 35 and 69 for nonsmokers was 15% and for smokers was 43% -- nearly three times greater.

Claims that personalities of smokers account for these differences are not convincing in light of the fact that the heavy smokers were about 25 times more likely to die of lung cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than the nonsmokers

Lung cancer rates are linked to the amount of people who smoke. It is noted that an increase in deaths from lung cancer appeared 20 years after an increase in cigarette consumption. The damage a continuing smoker does to their lungs can take up to 20 years before its physical manifestation in lung cancer

lol but be happy
Women began smoking later than men, so the rise in death rate amongst women did not appear until later

Answer 2

Even if you chain smoked 5 packs per day (and I suspect you didn't smoke that much), you'd only have a 10 pack year history which is not much. You've done your body some irreversible damage, but for most people (there are some people who are extra sensitive) it can be tolerated.

Answer 3

Immediatly after you quit smoking the damage starts to reverse and your body heals itself. I am sure there a few things that are unreversable, but for the most part you will be ok and your have significanly reduced your chances of getting cancer. You will be healthier and you will live long now that you do not smoke. :)

Answer 4

Good for you for quiting! You should be back to normal in 5 years. Most likely no permanent damage was caused in two years. Talk to the Dr. at your annual check up.

Answer 5

I hope so---I smoked for 30 years--quit 3 years ago.I understand it takes 5 years to clean out your lungs,who knows about liver,etc.

Answer 6

if you still cough regularly. go to your medical centre and check out whether you've got bronchitis or not. your chances of contracting cancer will be the same as a lifelong non smoker after 5 years of giving up. all the best.
