If i quit smoking at 18 will it make any difference at all??
For example will my lungs re-heal them selfs?
Or is it already to late, am i stuck with these black lungs for the rest of my life?
Ive been smoking for 4 years..
hardly...if you don-t smoke for 20 years then you-ll have the same chances of cancer as a non-smoker
YES. Actually, you can be a smoker for 20 years then quit and notice improvement in your health. Your body can recover from cigarette smoke as long as you haven-t developed a smoking related disease such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, heart disease or lung cancer. Basically, the earlier you quit smoking the more you lessen your chances of developing these things. But quitting smoking can also increase your overall health no matter what age you are.
It is never too late to quit smoking, no matter how old you are. Your body begins to recover as soon as you put down that last cigarette.
As an 18 year old your body is about to reach prime condition. If you never touch another ciggie, your body and lungs will most likely completely recover within a few short months. Expect a mean cough though as your lungs will try to rid themselves of that nasty build up.
Quit now my friend, the longer you smoke the harder it becomes to put them down. Also as a smoker the older you are the harder it becomes for your body to recover.

Yes - Yes - Yes! Quitting smoking at ANY time is nothing but a PLUS for your health. Over a peiod of time, you will realize your endurance level has increased. You don-t -wheeze- when you exercise - your all around feeling of well being increases. Just think of the money you will save - not to mention helping your lungs breathe again. Just be careful - when you stop smoking - EVERYTHING tastes good to eat! Even stuff you never even liked before! You must get on a balanced diet. Slack off the strachy stuff - eat lots of boiled or steamed vegetables - especially leafy green vegetables. Try to avoid bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, cake, cookies, pie, brownies, sweet soda-s. Meats need to be baked, boiled or broiled - never fried. If you do not exercise now, start some type of exercise program, like sit ups, push ups, pull ups, skipping rope, skate boarding, briskly walking for 30 mintes twice each day to help mainain optimum health. Good luck.
i come from a large family of smokers, but (thankfully) they all quit before i was born! all of my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, etc. my mom is like, the only one in my family who never started (besides me, of course). what im saying is that the sooner you quit, the better. my grandma used to cough up black sh*t, once she stoped smoking it went away.
Yes it will absolutely make a difference! You will stop damaging your lungs and it hurts more in your body than your lungs! Plus you hurt other people when you smoke. It-s not fair to make nonsmokers breathe that crap. When you have a family you will want to keep them healthy and keep yourself healthy too.
of course it will make a difference.
i don-t know if your lungs with -re-heal- themselves, but stoping smoking is definitely good. especially since for every cigarette you smoke you lose about 5 minutes of your life
The sooner you quit the better. The more you smoke the more you will damage your lungs. While they won-t self-heal, you can stop them from getting worse by quitting!
just stop
while lungs dont repair themselves you could prevent further damage to them and lower your risk of getting cancer
No at age 18 your life is practically over so you might as well inhale burning tire fumes.
You lungs wont heal themselves but they wont get any worse, Every smoke you decide not to smoke is bettering your health
Of course you made a difference by quiting early in life.
Absolutely.
every cigarette takes 12 mins off your life so yes
