for about a week i think. Will not last a week-- Your lungs are filtering out the "gunk" out of your lungs, from how many years you've smoked. it can take anywere between 6months to a year. before you would see any improvement. However, for how ever long you smoked the tightness in your chest could mean target a lot of issues. Such as COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. that could cause shortness of breath, tightness in the chest. I'd see your Physican if you have any concerns. ----Resources------- I'm a Registered nurse.

You were smoking cigareets ten per day since last twenty years and stopped smokingHow long it will take to heal the damage caused by smoking?

Depending on what damage you mean, it will vary. In certain organs the damage will take longer, for instance lung damage, depending on what the damage consists of, may take as long as 10 years. If you developed emphysema, it will never be healed and will actually get worse despite smoking cessation. The odds of having a heart attack reduce tremendously after smoking cessation, approaching the odds of nonsmokers within 2 years or so. Here's a more complete listing: * 20 Minutes after your last cigarette: ** Blood pressure decreases ** Temperature of hands and feet increases to normal (because of improved blood circulation) * 8 Hours after quitting: ** The carbon monoxide level (that's car exhaust and it's in cigarette smoke!) in your blood drops to normal * 24 Hours after quitting: ** Chance of a heart attack decreases * 2 Weeks to 3 Months after quitting: ** Blood circulation improves ** Lung function (how well the lungs are working) increases up to 30% * 1 to 9 Months after quitting: ** Coughing, congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decrease ** The cilia (small hairs that line the airways) go back to working normally, meaning that your lungs get cleaner and function better overall * 1 Year after quitting: ** Excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's * 5 Years after quitting: ** Risk of stroke is reduced to the risk of a nonsmoker (between 5 and 15 years after quitting) * 10 Years after quitting: ** The lung cancer death rate is about half the rate of a smoker who has not quit ** The risk of oral and throat cancer, bladder, kidney, and pancreatic cancer decreases * 15 Years after quitting: ** The risk of coronary heart disease is equal to a nonsmoker's risk.

Exercise is a great substitute for smoking. You may find that as you exercise more, you cough more, clearing out your lungs and airways. This is good. Most likely you'll breath easier and build up your endurance as you get further and further from your last cigarette.
