Can your vocal chords and lungs heal after you quit smoking? -


I just recently quit smoking, will I get my breath back? Will my vocal chords go back to normal...or is all the damage permanent? I-ve smoked for 5 years...but again..I quit going on 3 weeks now
if you are still fairly young, I think you have a good chance of your lungs healing after smoking for 5 years. whatever you do...do NOT ever ever go back to smoking again...it is a great thing that you have quit!! Bravo to you!! I hope that your lungs will go back to 100% damage free.

if you really want to know...I would check with your dr. about having a medical scan of your lungs to really see how they are doing.
No one-s will go back to 100%
