I gave up smoking 3 months ago (and feel GREAT for it after smoking for 15 yrs) am curious to know how long it will be for All the tar to be fully out of my system.

consult a docotr for that, but really depends on how long you've been smoking before quitting...
tar will never really get out completely
and by the way, if you still get around with smokers you're still breathing in a nice deal of tar (passive smoking is still smoking)

I can't answer that
I think its a while
but I stopped coughing just about straight away
I gave up last july
we will still need ( now & then over the years ) to have an xray to be fully sure
congratulations to you because its not easy but very worth it hey

It depends on how long you smoked, and how long you stay clean. I think it is a few months, and eventually you can get to the point where it's like you never started. Assuming you haven't gotten long cancer or some other nasty related disorder.

Congratulations on quitting! I hope you continue to feel healthier, but keep in mind healing takes time and the older a person is, the longer it takes to heal. My mother dislocated her shoulder and the doctor says she may never fully regain use of her arm because she's 73 .. but if she were younger she'd heal much quicker.

From my understanding, once you have quit smoking it will take approximately 10 years for your lungs to be comparable to a non-smoker. Congrats on quitting (I did it 7 years ago and it only gets better!)

I would say it would take about a year after every year you smoked to completely be as healthy as normal.

Your lungs will never return to what they were before your smoking days, but overtime they will heal and get heathier. Good Luck!
