about 10 years ;c ) The worst effects pass after 24-48 hours.

Then it takes ages.

But it is worth it. after a week you (I did) notice health gains.

If I could feel better after a week, imagine how much better you feel after a year....

The smoke from one cigarette can stay in the air for hours, even if the window is open. Many of the chemicals remain in furniture, carpeting, and clothing.

The amount of time that it takes your lungs to recover from smoking will depend on the extent of the damage. This might take a couple of months for the lungs to clear and heal completely.
