it will take a while, not right away
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Probably not all the way back to normal.
April 7th, 2009 at 11:26 am
it takes a while but it will happen
April 8th, 2009 at 7:25 am
They will go back to normal, but not completely for a few years, i think.
April 10th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
your lungs will heal! Good luck with quitting!
April 12th, 2009 at 2:51 am
You should of never started buddy boy
April 14th, 2009 at 10:29 am
hard to say if it will be 100 % of normal but I think you’ll see a huge difference

they wont go back to normal, they will still have all that tar in them, but you will notice that you will have more energy after time. but it is still good to quit, because the more you keep smoking the more tar ur putting into your lungs, and it just gets worse

Takes 10 years for your lungs to get back to condition it was in prior to smoking. If you want to quit, start now.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Just stop and hopefuly they will go back to normal.. or slowly stop liek a pack a day to half a pack.. then slowly decreasing to a stop, it will be easier for you.

your lungs will repair themselves, but they will never be as healthy as someone who hasn’t ever smoke
April 26th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
not really but it will help you prevent early death
May 2nd, 2009 at 11:22 am
yes it will
May 3rd, 2009 at 3:12 am
i believe that they will become healthy again yes. so do it. good luck

The body can heal itself once you started supporting it.
May 6th, 2009 at 4:04 am
it’ll take some time, but yes they will heal themselves after awhile… good luck with your boxing.
May 7th, 2009 at 2:09 am
it might get better, but never back to normal. either way, you should stop so it doesnt get worse…
good luck!
May 9th, 2009 at 6:40 am
Yes they will…
Not right away but yes..
Get help and stop killing yourself and others around you.
You can do it!
May 9th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
YEAH IT WILL, BECAUSE U HAVENT BEEN SMOKING FOR THAT LONG !
SOME PPL HAVE BEEN SMOKING FOR 20 AND 30 YEARS !
May 11th, 2009 at 5:38 am
Nope. You’ll be better off though because your lungs will not get any worse. And I’m sure you will be able to box.
May 11th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
12 months before it gets better.10 years before your lungs are like a non smokers
May 14th, 2009 at 5:14 am
Sure dude, will take a while, but its a good decision!
May 14th, 2009 at 10:19 am
yes it takes 7 years but you’ll fell great in 3 mounths
May 15th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
They say it takes about 5 years for every year of smoking so good luck!!!!!! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the good news is they do go back
May 16th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
I was watching opera the other day with Doctor Oz. And It takes about 5 years to turn back to normal. Plus you shouldn’t have started :\
May 16th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Good luck – your lungs would much prefer to be punched than have tar poured into them.
May 18th, 2009 at 6:04 am
Yes, if u do, your body will naturally heal itself…your body iz pretty amazing…so yah, your body will… depending on how long u have smoked, your body will heal in like, 3 or a little more months, or may b less…
May 18th, 2009 at 11:56 am
they wont automatically become healthy…….if thats what you mean……..also if you do ……less chance of heat disease, lung cancer and you wont die as soon…!
May 18th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Yes, the first years after quitting show the biggest decrease of these risks. And after 10 to 15 years, the ex-smoker is as healthy again as someone who has never smoked. Within several years, the risk of heart and coronary diseases are equal to that of non-smokers. Also, the risk of lung disease decreases relatively quickly. The risk of lung cancer needs 10 to 15 years to decrease to the risk of someone who never smoked. But also in this case the biggest decrease of the risk happens in the first years after quitting.

Absolutely … Remember that you can still have dirty lungs even if you have never lit up one cigarette in your whole life. Rigorously working out is the best thing for you too. Good luck in the ring. I hope you do well. Take care.
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Yes, usually within 6 months your lungs will heal themselves, give or take depending on how much you smoke, how much your lungs have been affected, how quickly your body is to recover and any other relevant health factors.
May 23rd, 2009 at 3:26 am
You should be able to build up lung capacity again as long as you stay off the cigs and you exercise regularly and it sounds like you’re going to!
Great to hear this! It took me 15 years to get my dad to quit!

Yes, go ahead!
May 26th, 2009 at 11:23 am
No, it won’t. Try checking out a dissected anatomical human body of a smoker. His/her lungs are spotted black or might be covered almost completely. Even those who are exposed to second-hand smoke have these. I was taught that they would never go back to normal but would still be able to function properly if some of the bronchi is not completely annihalted.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Yes they will, the lungs have a restructuring process and they can repair the damage. Good luck, i quit two years ago after smoking about 4years also and i feel great. I’m 27 and play basketball and baseball for fun and in the best shape.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:38 am
NOT IMMEDIATELY BUT EVENTUALLY. STOP NOW.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:00 pm
It takes time . But yes it will. You’ve not been smoking that long. So mabye no permanent damage has been done
June 1st, 2009 at 9:21 am
yes your lungs will go back to normal over time. and energy leavels go up within two weeks
June 2nd, 2009 at 12:46 pm
stop smoking it’s not good for you if you didn’t smoke you already be healed and your lungs will get better in no time.^-^
June 5th, 2009 at 8:33 am
They’ll be almost the same. In 5-7 years after quitting they’ll be 90-95% of how they were before you actually started smoking.
So go for it!
June 5th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Yeah man it will! went thru something just like you i quit after 4 years of it and i feel great!!!
June 6th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
It will take time but yes your lungs will get better and you will be fitter. I admire you for this as I know it is hard but well done and hold in there xxx
June 8th, 2009 at 6:21 am
yes good luck
