No, I don't think that that you can recover 100% as some damage just can't be undone, BUT, if you do give up, your health will improve 200 - 300%. It is well worth your while to do it.

It is never possible to fully recover. But the sooner you quit, the better the recovery will be.

If I remember correctly, the general "rule of thumb" for that goes something like... for every year you smoked, after you've quit it takes 2 years to recover...? It's something close to that.
Ideally, if you quit now, and get/stay healthy & fit, you'll be well off. Your lungs need time to heal.
Good luck to you!

You can come close - it will take a few years, but some things recover quickly.

Yes, in time you would recover completely and bring your risks back down to normal.
Please try and do it because the diseases you can get from smoking are so horrible and painful and they can severely restrict your life.
I hope you manage.......Good Luck â¥

For you to be 100% "smoke free" you should never of smoked in the first place!
