How long does it take for a smokers lungs to heal?

Answer 1

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....

Answer 2

The studies I have seen indicate that a smoker's risk of death from lung cancer drops to the baseline after 20 years of not smoking. However, the damage never really clears - it just stops getting worse.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Sometimes your lungs will not clear up, but in other cases, they can clear up after 10 or so years.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

5 or so hours brotha. just make a sploof. (look it up)
