No supposedly it only takes 3 days for the Physical addiction of smoking to go away the mental addiction takes a lot longer. I have quit several times and I think the physical addiction takes longer personally.

You will start feeling better by then. But the results are actually gradual, and completely ridding your lungs of tar and all those other chemicals will take over a year. They say that after a month, your risk of heart disease drops to half that of a smoker. And it only gets better from there! The end results are worth it. I heard that for every cigarette you smoke, you shave 7 to 11 minutes off of your life. If u smoke, i hope u do decide to quit.

When you quit smoking, you can generally begin to see the good effects within days. You should be able to breath better, your risk for a heart attack or stroke is decreased dramatically, and your mood generally improves. The timing of this depends on how long you've smoked and how heavily. However, your lungs may never fully recover. The smoke could have caused irreparable damage, and you're still at a higher risk for lung and other cancers than if you'd never smoked at all. If you're going to quit, do it now! Good luck!

When I quit after about 3 days is when I started coughing all the crap up that was in my lungs, that took weeks to finally quit. It was bad at first, that it gradually got better. No it takes much longer than 3 days, but it does get better.

Yes, they'll clear a little, but they get better as years go by.
So stop and don't start again.
Have you ever sniffed an ashtray the next day? That's what your lungs smell like. Gross.

It is not true. The damage to your lungs is permanent
