Take a look at this pair of smoker’s lungs being poorly inflated. If you smoke cigarettes, there is good news – the human body is a healing machine! Here is a timeline of how the average lungs heal over time:
72 HOURS AFTER QUITTING:
Your lungs begin repairing themselves, you may start breathing with more ease as the bronchial tubes in your lungs begin to relax.
TWO WEEKS – THREE MONTHS AFTER QUITTING:
Your circulation improves and your lung function increases by about thirty percent. By nine months, smoking-related coughing, congestion, and shortness of breath should slow and cease due to regeneration of your cilia.
ONE – TEN YEARS AFTER QUITTING:
Your risk of coronary heart disease and lung cancer will drop to half of what it was when you were smoking. After five years, your risk of stroke, mouth, throat, and esophagus cancer will go down to that of a non-smoker.
