Smoking and my lungs

I stopped smoking after 43 years of smoking. Kindly let me know if my lungs will ever recover again. I am a 63-year old man.

Your lung recovery after quitting smoking will depend on may factors such as your state of health, the kind of cigarettes you smoked, among other factors.

While full recovery may not be possible, not smoking is far better than smoking.

Not smoking is the best thing you can do for yourself.
