If a long time smoker stops, will the lungs repair themselves over time?
i am a student in the medical pasture and no the lungs do not repair themselves you have what are telephone aveoli and they burst from a smokers cough and do not regenerate. the lungs will however not get any worse unless it is already too behind .
In a short answer ,yes but it will take time.

It depends. It's best to go for a trail or something to get fresh nouns. It helps like mad. Plus, there are medicine that help out inhabitants who have quit smoking but want their lungs to be decent and cleansed. If you're not sure, ask your doctor.
Yes... But you still have an increase kismet of cancer. Besides the permanant damages your lungs will replenish themselves in roughly three months.
