Your lungs are continuously regenerating and will repair themselves from whatever exposure you may have experienced, even the smoker himself will experience repair to the lung tissue, your body does this naturally.

Another answer:COPD is the problem you are having. The tiny cilia on the surface of the "tubes" leading in and out of the lungs have been damaged. Since they are not functional, the mucous you make all the time does not move up and out of the bronchi. You will find it will remain there and become thick. You will find yourself constantly coughing to remove it. You will also be wheezing. These cilia will never be repaired. You will have this problem the rest of your life.
