I smoked a pack a day for 26 years (1.5 packs for about 6 months prior to quitting) and am still coughing. Am I just being impatient or does it take this long for the lungs to clear up?

I have been smoking for about 10 years, and recently quit. I feel as if I am already sleeping better and I also feel that I have more energy. It has only been 5 days, but I really do feel better over all. Is it true that your lungs heal naturally and how long willl it take????

Jenn asked:


My boyfriend and I have been together for about two years. He wants to marry me, but he smokes and isn’t deterred by his bad health. He’s had all sorts of problems ranging from heart to lungs. Is it wrong for me to expect him to quit? I want him to be there and I fear that if he doesn’t make some changes, he won’t be. Thanks. =)

Up to how long can it take for your lungs to rid themselves of tar once you quit smoking?

I quit last November, it has been 8 months and I still cough up small specks of black in my phlegm. I asked my doc. and he said that it was normal, as I had been chain-smoking 6 years prior to quitting. How long did you have withdrawal symptoms when you quit? Should I get a second opinion? I can breath just fine and all, just have excess phlegm with specks of tar in it.

Cheeseburger asked:


Like 1/4 of the whole 9th grade (divided to 7 classes) here smokes, which sickens me alot.
And my friend is one of them.
We’re both 15, and I’m uncomfortable seeing him smoke cigarettes.
I don’t see why.
They stink, they **** your lungs up, they cost, etc…

He smokes daily.
How can I get him to quit?

Jason S asked:


I just quit smoking (actually haven’t smoked in just over a week now) and I want to help my lungs repair quicker. I am in the stages of coughing up tons of mucus and it sucks, but I know its just a sign of healing. What can I do to speed up or aid this process?
