Smoking contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which harm the intima and the media layers of arteries and predisposing to thrombi, aneurism formation and sclerosis (hardening of the vessel wall).
To answer your question, these plaques do regress with time, but diet and quitting smoking are necessary.

Atherosclerosis is often found in clusters in families. Atherosclerosis is a thickening of the artery walls as a result of an invasion and accumulation of white cells.
Liver disease or smoking is a contribute to discoloration of heart muscles
Atherosclerosis predisposes a person to many different types of disease such as coronary artery disease, peripeheral arterial disease, mesenteric ischemia, and ischemic stroke to name some of the heavy hitters. These are all dangerous diseases that can be lethal.
It is partly genetically determined but lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, weight, and smoking play a role as well. The lifestyle component is your diet. Atherosclerosis progresses faster in those people who eat diets rich in animal fats, fried foods and simple carbohydrates (e.g. sweets). Also, smoking, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle contribute, as well. Atherosclerosis is sometimes called a "lifestyle disease" because some of the risk factors are within the patient's control.
Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of death and smoking is a large risk factor for it so smokers with atherosclerosis are at high risk. Some will get lucky and live for decades and some have died in the time it took me to type this response.
We all know that atherosclerosis clogs the blood vessels. Smoking is related because smoking would damage the respiratory system and strain the circulatory system. So since it strains the circulatory system, it is just like how atherosclerosis clogs the blood vessels. They both clog blood vessels
The most common treatments focus on dietary and lifestyle changes to reduce cholesterol and other problems that contribute to atherosclerosis.
Cholesterol
Open heart surgery and angioplasty are two invasive forms of treatment for atherosclerosis. In lessor cases, a lifestyle change of food or quitting smoking may be the recommended treatment.
Yes, consuming a diet high in saturated fats has been linked to an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Saturated fats can lead to elevated levels of LDL cholesterol, which can accumulate in the arteries and contribute to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. It is recommended to limit intake of saturated fats to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
Smoking accelerates atherosclerosis, so a person with a significant smoking history will have more fatty deposits in the arteries than a person of the same age without a smoking history, all other variables equal.

the smell
Only dopes do dope.
Smoking is not at all healthy! smoking enhances the risks of the following diseases:Lung cancerHeart diseaseemphysemachronic bronchitisA diabetic has an added risk for smoking, because smoking accelerates the process of atherosclerosis (a condition in which cholesterol and other cells cause narrowing of arteries including the artery which supplies blood to the heart). If untreated and if smoking is continued, atherosclerosis may result in heart attack and death.Therefore it is very clear that smoking opens many floodgates in the body for deadly diseases. Actually there is not even a single benefit of smoking.Smoking also causes bad breath and inconvenience to other fellows. When other people inhale your smoke, it is called passive smoking. When you smoke, passive smoking is the hazard you are passing to others by smoking.Is you are smoking quit immediately and if you are a non-smoker, never even think of starting to smoke!
Generally not! But smoking can. (Are you a smoker?)
