Your lungs will never be clear of tars, but if you have experienced severe coughing in the past three years, that is probably your body trying to get rid of all of those dangerous substances that are in your lungs. But the quality of your lungs-well your entire body, is still improving. It also depends on your age, smokers in their twenties or younger who are quitting have a better chance of loosing more of the tar than smokers in their forties or above.
Hope this helps and congratulations on quitting.

Your lungs will start to repair themselves, but I am unsure if they will ever be healthy again. I am in school for nursing, and we looked at lung tissues of a smoker. The tar was very visible. Tar does a job on your lungs. I think that it would depend on your health, and how long you have smoked. Best of luck.Congratulations that is a hard habit to break.

they'll never be completely clear the way they were before you started smoking. Lung damage is just that. You damage your lungs you can't get rid of that but you can salvage them by quitting which it sounds like you did. Congratulations!
